The Hidden Country: How Longing Shaped CS Lewis from Atheism to Faith

Few themes are as central to the work of C. S. Lewis as longing. Again and again, Lewis describes a deep, unsettling desire for something beyond the world we know, a yearning that beauty awakens but never satisfies. He famously came to call this experience joy, or by its German name, Sehnsucht.

Who do you say I am?

Talk of a renewed openness to God is no longer just anecdotal. Bible Society research suggests church attendance is rising in England and Wales, while publishers report a marked uptick in Bible sales. If something like a “quiet revival” is underway, argues Erik Strandness, the pressing question is whether the Church is ready not only to welcome interest in Jesus, but to introduce people to the Jesus of Scripture.

What the new year cannot fix

As the New Year begins, Australia is still reckoning with violence that defies easy explanation. Beyond politics and policy lies a deeper question about evil and whether it can truly be overcome.

And how does the Christian story about evil lead us to be both more pessimistic and more optimistic than the world is about humanity?
