| Aug 12, 2013 at 13:35 | comment | added | Sehnsucht | Ah, yes, I suppose. I suppose I'm not being very achedemic here...I'm desperatly chasing down lewis material that might suggest the future will end because, frankly, I'd hate if we were literally stuck in an 'endless time' if time remains the same as now. How frustrating- even if you were in a place of utter bliss, you'd never reach a completetion, the road would go on forever and you'd be part of a never ending story. Sends shivers up my spine- and, as it does, I assume that I've got it wrong. God surely overjoys you- doesn't horrify you! Best day ever + unending = | |
| Aug 12, 2013 at 13:14 | comment | added | James T | @ThomasJennings I think his concern in Screwtape is people worrying too much about the uncertain and dangerous future, which wouldn't be a problem in Heaven. It's also possible that his ideas developed between Screwtape and Malcolm. | |
| Aug 12, 2013 at 11:43 | comment | added | Sehnsucht | there is a section on the future in the Screwtape Letters, where the future is described as being the thing least like eternity. Surely then Lewis didn't see us looking forward whilst in Heaven? For the most "temporal" part of time to continue? But then, can it end- if the present is still so and the past also... | |
