I just finished reading C.S. Lewis’ book The Great Divorce. The story takes place as the writer, in a dream, takes a supernatural journey into Heaven. Along his way, he realizes that the place he calls Earth, is in actuality part of Heaven or part of Hell. The implication is that we are presently on a voyage towards our ultimate fate. Through an incredible story, complete with amazing literary technique, he touches upon the difficult theological and intellectual concepts such as good and evil, redemption, eternity, purgatory, and the supernatural. I strongly recommend reading this book.
“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.”
