The recent news that 2 journalists working for the Fox news channel had been released following their conversion to Islam has made me ponder what I would do if in a similar situation. I would hope that I would be strong enough to refuse to deny Christ, and need be, die a martyr. Clearly I'd rather not have to be faced with such a desperate situation.
On another note, while watching Narnia yesterday, we started discussing briefly the character of Aslan as an allegorical portrayal of Christ, the sacrifice and destruction of the table being particularly poignant. I must admit that I've never read any of CS Lewis' works, although I have heard much about him. I suppose I will have to start now, since DH mentioned that it may be due to Elizabeth Anscombe that Lewis did not publish another theological work after Miracles. The lady is in fact the mother of DH's godmother.
