CS Lewis loved reading and thinking about myths, but he could not regard them as being at all true. To this, J.R.R Tolkein responds, “Myth’s originate in God, they preserve something of God’s truth, although often in a distorted form. In presenting a myth, in writing stories full of mythical creatures, one may be doing Gods work.” Tolkein goes on to explain that the Christian story was a myth invented by God who was real, a God whose dying could transform those who believed in Him. If Jack(CS Lewis) wanted to find relevance of his story to his own life, he must plunge in. He must appreciate the myth in the same spirit of imaginative understanding that he would bring to say, a Wagnerian opera.
