![]() ![]() The aliens have not fallen and do not sin, and therefore do not need the redemption that those of us on the fallen Earth need. In this story there is no question of whether or not we need or could baptize aliens. Here are some reasons why they are so important to read: 1) Lewis presents unfallen, rational embodied aliens. (This may have something to do with the books being recommended by the man whom I had a crush on, and would eventually marry.) They are like traditional children’s fairy tales in that they present a clear battle between good and evil. I did not know of them myself until my first year of college, and once I did, I purchased them immediately. ![]() A lot of people have read something by C.S Lewis, or at least have heard of him, and I would guess that his most read and known books are The Chronicles of Narnia. Many people have not even heard of his self-proclaimed “modern fairytale for grown ups,” which is a wonderful trilogy of books called Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength. ![]()
