![]() ![]() However, Lewis promises us that in abandoning these sins we will have lost nothing. Why then, do we insist on keeping our pet sins? Lewis says that they all have to go. ![]() As the Book of Revelation says, nothing unclean can enter Heaven. As one of the characters in the book says, “If we insist on keeping Hell…we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell”. The central point of The Great Divorce is that there can be no marriage between Heaven and Hell. It is a fictional book where Lewis ponders what would happen if souls could travel from Hell to Heaven…would they want to stay? The Great Divorce is probably my favourite of all of Lewis’ books. ![]()
