COULD YOU TELL ME, PLEASE, WHY C.S. LEWIS REFERS TO JOY AS "H" IN HIS BOOK, A GRIEF OBSERVED?
I AM NOT A NEW READER OF LEWIS, HAVING KNOWN OF HIM FOR ALL OF MY LIFE, BUT I AM NEW AT MY STUDY OF HIM. WHAT PROMPTED THIS STUDY WAS A QUESTION I RAN ACROSS ON THE INTERNET A FEW MONTHS AGO IN WHICH A WRITER (A NON BELIEVER OR ATHIEST OR SOMETHING)ASKED A BELIEVER/CHRISTIAN TO OFFER SOME SORT OF OBSERVATION THAT WOULD IMPLY THE EXISTENCE OF A LIVING GOD BUT TO DO SO WITHOUT USING ANYTHING FROM THE BIBLE....NO SCRIPTURES, NO REFERENCES, NOTHING FROM WHAT JESUS SAYS ABOUT HIMSELF, ETC. AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT OF C.S. LEWIS AND HOW HE REASONED TO HIMSELF THAT THE UNIVERSE AS WELL AS MAN'S OWN, BASIC, LIFE INSTINCTS: CONSCIENCE, THOUGHT PROCESSES, ETC...... ALL HAD TO COME FROM GOD; MAN COULD NOT INVENT GOD; MAN COULD NOT EVEN HAVE COME UP WITH THE IDEA OF GOD; EVERYTHING POSITIVELY SCREAMS ( AND WHISPERS), "I AM".
THANK YOU.
