After reading Huxley, it was comforting to read this short set of essays by the other great English writer who died the same day as Huxley.

Lewis writes about the loss of an objective set of morals and values for the human race and predicts what it could produce. Ironically, Huxley answered that by his fictional work Brave New World and we seem to be answering it in many ways with our reality today.

First of all, Lewis says no group can claim to tear down the common morals and values of almost every society in history, not just the Christian-based ones, and then to have the moral authority to replace them with something else. If there are no standards, there are no standards. Then we get every man doing what is right in his own eyes or a small group forcing their personal

desires on the rest of us.

A current example (from me) would be that an LGBTQ group cannot both claim that they owe their parents no respect or loyalty but that everyone must respect their pronouns.

Lewis's books always help with apologetics. I have read almost all of them. I believe the majority of our current countrymen who wish to dismantle ancient values do not wish to hear about Christian apologetics but there is always someone who can be snatched from the fire if we use God's Word with a skillful application of apologetics from someone like C.S. Lewis.
