I say new because, though these essays and letters were written over a period of twenty-four, almost all published in book form for the first time. Considering how rapidly theological fashions change, it might be expected that these pieces would already be old stuff. There are, however, I expected, others like myself who are more concerned with weather a book is true than weather it was written last week. I believe that Lewis's refusal to compromise, neck or nothing. Heaven or hell, does not for one moment detract from their relevance to the basic problems which still assail us.
