Two useful concepts that are stopping me from not finishing this book:
1) Lewis argues individual morality (vs morality based on societal function) is infinitely more important because the afterlife is infinite and societies are finite. This is precisely the best argument *against* promoting a belief in the afterlife.
2) His definition of pantheism (everything is God and God is equally in everything) is my belief!

I've read a number of theology books but this is the first explicitly evangelical one, with the possible exception of The God Delusion. The result is that I feel like I have to read this with a a more critical eye, and it's exhausting. There are so many arguments in here with which I disagree, and I'm thinking about stopping.
