The book is a collection of speeches and essays by Anglican CS Lewis during and immediately following WWII. Topic headings are: The Weight of Glory, Learning in War-Time, Why I Am Not a Pacifist, Transposition, Is Theology Poetry?, The Inner Ring, Membership, On Forgiveness, and A Slip of the Tongue. While I do not agree with all that Mr. Lewis said, I appreciate his depth of thought, sincere faith, and wry British sense of humor. Anyone who enjoys anything by Lewis will find this short book engaging.
