Ch. 5: Is Theology Poetry?

Lewis expands the question initially asked of him to be "Is Theology merely poetry? Does Theology offer us, at best, only that kind of truth which, according to some critics, poetry offers us?"

I underlined nearly a third of this chapter. The discussion ran long on this one, and we didn't even get to the end. I regret that this is a hasty post as there were many great passages. I'll just leave you with the very last line of the chapter: "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I have seen everything else."
