Hebrews

In all my life I don't remember ever studying Hebrews. So in my head Hebrews was this cloked in mystery with an unknown author written to Christian Jews. My friend picked out an overview study of Hebrews for our summer study.

After my first read, what screams at me are more-than-one difficult passages. As we began our study of Chapter One suddenly in front of us laying silent for so long is this beautiful and magnetic description of Christ and His work. I am so anxious to get on with our study to see what more Hebrews reveals.

C. S. Lewis - Space Trilogy

Out of the Silent Planet, 1938, takes place on Mars
Perelandra, 1943, takes place on Venus
That Hideous Strength, 1945, takes place on Earth

C. S. Lewis was my cross-over from English major to Christian. When pondering some of my "seekers" questions, I recalled that Lewis, whom I had studied as an English major at Indiana Wesleyan University located in my hometown of Marion, IN, had also been a Christian apologist. So I turned to him beginning with Mere Christianity.
