So let us talk about C.S. Lewis, N.T. Wright and the topic of human evolution. I have recently taken N.T. Wright to task for his take on those who oppose his approach to theistic evolution. As it happened, just after posting that well-thought out epistolary sunbeam of mine, I was listening in my truck to C.S. Lewis’s treatment of theistic evolution in The Problem of Pain. And lo! His was a position like unto Wright’s. What now, Dougie?
Well, it seems to me the thing to do is offer up a blog post touching on the three key differences between Lewis and Wright related to this issue.
In outlining these differences, I do not mean to indicate that theistic evolution is okay for anybody. It is not okay when C.S. Lewis does it, it is not okay when Tim Keller does it, and it is not okay when N.T. Wright does it. But apart from the general not-okayness, it remains true that when C.S. Lewis does it, we generally don’t get an entertaining (to some) blog rant from me about it. So why is that?
Let us begin by ruling out, in a spirit of Christian charity, personal inconsistency on my part.
