Problem related to apologetic presupposition


Problem: Lewis had a strong belief in free will. This apologetic presupposition means that humans cannot ultimately be coerced and must make serious choices regarding their final destiny. Lewis' belief in free will can be clearly seen in the Preface to "The Great Divorce." There he writes, "You cannot take all luggage with you on all journeys; on one journey even your right hand and your right eye may be among the things you have to leave behind" (The Great Divorce, p. VIII). He further states, "If we insist on keeping Hell (or even Earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell" (The Great Divorce, pp. VIII-IX). Lewis genuinely believed humans must make the choice for Heaven, or the choice for Hell, as an act of human freedom. And he believed that this choice would have dramatic ramifications. In chapters 1 through 8 of "The Great Divorce," Lewis provides sketches of a number of individuals who essentially make a free will decision and refuse to stay in Heaven for one reason or another. Choose one of the characters in the first eight chapters and illustrate how Lewis builds on the apologetic presuppositions he stated in the Preface. In 500 words while citing two sources from his book. Need Assignment Help?
