The Four Loves summarizes four kinds of human love--affection, friendship, erotic love, and the love of God. Masterful without being magisterial, this books wise, gentle, candid reflections on the virtues and dangers of love draw on sources from Jane Austen to St. Augustine. The chapter on charity love of God may be the best thing Lewis ever wrote about Christianity. Consider his reflection on Augustines teaching that one must love only God, because only God is eternal, and all earthly love will someday pass away: Who could conceivably begin to love God on such a prudential ground--because the security so to speak is better? Who could even include it among the grounds for loving? Would you choose a wife or a Friend--if it comes to that, would you choose a dog--in this spirit? One must be outside the world of love, of all loves, before one thus calculates. His description of Christianity here is no less forceful and opinionated than in Mere Christianity or The Problem of Pain, but it is far less anxious about its readers response--and therefore more persuasive than any of his apologetics. When he begins to describe the nature of faith, Lewis writes: Take it as one mans reverie, almost one mans myth. If anything in it is useful to you, use it; if anything is not, never give it a second thought Michael Joseph Gross.Pod oblozhkoj darstvennaya nadpis dlya Khanni Tarsis na anglijskom yazyke.…
