The
World’s Last Night
by C S Lewis is a collection of Christian articles. They are predominantly
Christian non-fiction with one Christian fiction satirical short story. The
topics of the articles vary greatly: effectiveness of prayer, definition of
belief, good works vs work, faith in relation to scientific discoveries, the
second coming of Christ and “Screwtape Proposes a Toast”. It really is just a
gathering of a handful of unrelated works into one book.
I gave this
book 3.5 out of 5 stars. As with all of Lewis’s works, these are so well
written. He has such a way with words. I also love how he lays everything out
in such a logical and clear way. They were interesting pieces, but didn’t
really speak into any area of my life. Nothing particularly touched me or gave
me one of those “oh” or “aha” moments. Like I said, they were really thought
provoking and interesting to read, just not the heart touchers that I am used
to from Lewis. My favorite piece was the fiction short story. It was everything
you expect from Lewis in fiction.
