This Morning Prayer included the singing of some Psalms (different each day) by the College Choir, often a boys’ choir of highest excellence. Walter Hooper (1931-2020), the incomparable editor of...

The Night School is an adventurous exercise of greater depth and reflectivity than is normal for most people. For each of these gatherings, we welcome a profound thinker, explorer, philosopher, painter, poet, theologian or mystic from the ancient or nearer past. For example, we may invite Aristotle (4th century BCE) to attend, and through some short and penetrating texts from his writings to give...

The Great Divorce: A Dream (1945). Warnie, Lewis’ brother, writing in his diary for 16 April 1933: “Jack has a new idea for a religious work, based on the opinion of some of the Fathers [i.e., the Fathers of the Church – the greatest of the Christian teachers in the early centuries of Christianity], that while punishment for the damned is eternal, if is intermittent. He proposes to do sort of an i...

Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold (1956). Walter Hooper, quoting Lewis about this novel that he wrote so late in his life (he died in November 1963): “This re-interpretation of an old story has lived in the author’s mind, thickening and hardening with the years, ever since he was an undergraduate. That way, he could be said to have worked at it most of his life.”
