Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold is a 1956 novel by C. S. Lewis.It is a retelling of Cupid and Psyche, based on its telling in a chapter of The Golden Ass of Apuleius.This story had haunted Lewis all his life, because he believed that some of the main characters' actions were illogical. [1]
It is based on a traditional assumption that, in his words and deeds, Jesus was asserting a claim to be God. For example, in Mere Christianity, Lewis refers to what he says are Jesus's claims: to have authority to forgive sins—behaving as if "He was the party chiefly concerned, the person chiefly offended in all offences" [13]
Eerdmans paperback edition (1965) The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses is a collection of essays and addresses on Christianity by C.S. Lewis.It was first published as a single transcribed sermon, "The Weight of Glory" in 1941, appearing in the British journal, Theology, then in pamphlet form in 1942 by Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, London.
In the second chapter of Mere Christianity, Lewis recognizes that "many people find it difficult to understand what this Law of Human Nature ... is." And he responds first to the idea "that the Moral Law is simply our herd instinct" and second to the idea "that the Moral Law is simply a social convention".
