This resembles the way Christians approach the events of the Old Testament. These older events were shadows on the wall. Christ was the fire itself - the myth that became fact.
Those older events echoed Christ as He was the Word that was there at the beginning - and pointed towards Christ as He is the final judge.
This article does a fine job of capturing the appeal of C.S. Lewis as both thinker and storyteller: someone who moved from intellectual disbelief to discovering in Christianity a response that was at once rational and poetic to the human condition. The central idea -longing (“joy”) as a sign that we are made for more than this world- resonates with a universal intuition and lends strength to his testimony. Equally valuable is how the text highlights Lewis’s ability to build bridges between myth, philosophy, and faith, updating Christianity for a modern audience without diluting its radical nature. In short, it is a reminder of why his work continues to inspire both believers and seekers alike. Thank you so much for sharing!!! 🫶
