Here are two classics of moral philosophy from one of the most revered Christian voices of our time.

In The Abolition of Man, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He describes what public education should be and how far from this standard modern education has fallen. Lewis eloquently argues that, as a society, we need to underpin reading and writing lessons with moral education.

In The Great Divorce, Lewis presents his vision of the afterworld. A fictional narrator boards a bus on a drizzly English afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell, where he meets a host of supernatural beings and comes to some significant realizations about the nature of good and evil.

      These two short works by Lewis are a fine introduction to his eloquent writing, as well as his thought. Although labeled second, "The Great Divorce" starts off this recording. In this work the narrator takes a bus trip that unexpectedly gives him a vision of heaven and hell as he travels through the afterworld. Lewis's view of the afterlife gives us his insights into the nature of good and evil. "The Abolition of Man" is an eloquent and erudite essay concerning what education should be and how far from this standard modern education has fallen. Robert Whitfield's disciplined and well-modulated voice has an appealingly confident quality. Whether or not one agrees with Lewis's arguments, it is a joy to hear writing so eloquent. M.T.F.
