The Rival Conceptions of God

I couldn’t agree more with what C.S. Lewis said about truth being found in other religions. As Christians we are so quick to see only our way. Now, don’t get me wrong I am in no way saying that other religions are correct, because salvation through Jesus Christ is the only way, however other religions do hold bits and pieces of truth. It is important for us to see and acknowledge those pieces of truth so we understand where other religions are coming from and we know how to best relate to them.
I enjoyed his contrast between pantheism and Christianity. I have never thought that deeply on the idea of how the world was created, it all just makes sense to me. I have never needed an explanation to see the truth. However it is great to see how we differ so much and what others believe about the creation of the world.
Overall I thought this was a very strong essay, written with conviction and insight.

Anyone agree? Disagree?
