Near the end of That Hideous Strength, Mark Studdock is traveling back to be reunited with his wife Jane, and he stops at an inn. At this inn, they have back issues of The Strand, and Mark — a real sign that his repentance has been genuine — finishes reading a serial story that he …
All Is Grace
“For those who persevere, how they subjectively receive grace is part of what has been objectively given” (Against the Church, p. 69).
Covered Up in Honor
“At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16: 11) The Basket Case Chronicles #148 “Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our …
Their Spindly Tower of Temerity
