Thanks for this--I was also unaware of Lewis's comment in that letter and had forgotten about the St. Paul line in Great Divorce. It's a shame he couldn't follow MacDonald, but it does seem he considered it a more plausible option than we thought.
thanks for sharing its a intresting comment given he said he departs from macdonald here yet the great divorce seems like a almost pseudo universalist text and his writing on the problems of pain latter in life seem to move towards more hopeful views
Hoping you might be able to comment on Matthew Levering's most recent piece in Church Life Journal where he offers some criticisms of Hart's Tradition and Apocalypse. Levering is an immensely read and formidable theologian as well as equally generous--would love your thoughts on it.
I was a student of David's when he taught at Duke; took every class he offered the two years he was there. Has been hugely influential on me, both personally and theologically. I'm glad you in this space commenting on this work.

Thanks Jesse! And I'm glad David decided to link it on his substack. Excellent piece by the way.
Thank you. And thank you also for prompting it.

Will take a look and give it some thought. Thanks.
