With the recent surge in C.S. Lewis’s popularity, it is good for us to remind ourselves that Lewis was not just a wonderful popular author, but a solid Christian thinker and apologist as well. One of his many enduring works is the short book, The Abolition of Man.
In much of the book, including in his wonderful appendix, Lewis argues that there is an objective moral structure in all humans in all cultures in all times. This is a lesson we sometimes need to remind ourselves of in our relativistic world. God built us in a certain way to work in particular moral fashions. It is simply destructive to believe that anything goes, and that there is no such thing as a moral law to human nature.
