Book 2, Chapter 3 The Shocking Alternative

Is it in accordance with God's will that the Enemy has made himself Prince of this world? Lewis addresses the consequences of God's gift to us of free will and the ability to choose to put ourselves first. Lewis describes God's activity to keep the door open to a right relationship with him, including raising up a man who made the shocking claim of being able to forgive all sins, including those which were not made directly against him.
