.... and P-Marlowe -------- neither of whose words are worshipped like those of C S Lewis whose Inkling associatists were Theosophists.
Don't be so dramatic. Nobody worships C.S. Lewis; words. People quote him and often when he is quoted he sounds pretty orthodox. He never claimed to be any kind of theological expert. He was an expert in English Literature. His understanding of theology was superficial while at the same time often profound. Yet it is that kind of childlike superficial understanding of the Christian life that makes C.S. Lewis' work so appealing.
