 Myth and Rationalism

(Chapters 5 & 6)

One obstacle that Lewis had to overcome was the parallel between pagan myths and Christianity. It was assumed in his schooling that the pagan myths were false and Christianity true. On what basis could he exempt Christianity from the same criticism? His answer described in this chapter is the “myth become fact.” Lewis was tutored in rationalism by “Kirk” but later rejected it in favor of a combination of faith and reason.
