  • Jerry Root on C.S. Lewis and the Real Presence of God, Part 2

    C.S. Lewis believed that reality is iconoclastic - it breaks images and idols. An image of God formed after reading a book, hearing a sermon, or having a conversation with a friend, may temporarily give greater clarity of thought. But, if held too tightly, it becomes an idol that must be broken in order to allow a better image to take its place. While God is absolute and unchanging, our own understanding of God's ways should grow and change as we experience Him more. God is continually manifesting Himself around us —in big ways such as the perpetual kaleidoscope of sunrises and sunsets as well as in the delicate things such as hummingbirds and peacock feathers. We just need to listen. "I insisted that he ought to appear in the temple I had built for him; not knowing that he cares only for temples building and not at all for temples built." (C.S. Lewis, "Surprised by Joy")
    This is Part 2 of a talk which was recorded in front of a live audience at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX, as part of Hill Country Institute's conference, "C.S. Lewis and the Divine Presence"
