Chapter 4 - The Perfect Penitent
In this chapter, Lewis talks about various theories that people believe about why Christ died for us.
1.) In your own words, explain the meaning behind Christ's death. What distinction does Lewis make between the central Christian belief and the various theories of how atonement works?
2.) What is the basic problem with repentance? According to Lewis, how does God help us repent?
3.) How does Lewis respond to the argument that suffering and dying was easy for Jesus because he was God? Do you think it was easy for Jesus? Consider Isaiah 53; Matthew 27_26-54; Luke 22:40-44 and Hebrews 2:10, 14-18, 4:15.
