CHAPTER 11: CHRISTIANITY AND “RELIGION”

Chapter at a Glance

Many people seem interested in talking about beauty, truth, and goodness or a God who is simply an indwelling principle of them. But the God of today's popular religion would do no miracles. In chapter 11, Lewis evaluated the evidence for pantheism.

Summary

The type of “god” of today's popular religion would almost surely do no miracles. But the question is whether such a popular religion is likely to be real. Many folks have a “friendly interest” in speaking about “beauty, truth and goodness” or a god who is simply the indwelling principle of them. But mention a God who has purposes, performs particular actions—a concrete, choosing, commanding, prohibiting God with a real character—and they become embarrassed or angry. They think this conception of God is primitive and crude, even irreverent. The popular religion of our day is pantheism, and Lewis examined its credentials.
