Finished 55, up to 54. The moon

Up to 55, just finished 56. The inevitable

56 is about the afterlife and the fates of those on the right and left paths. The heaven as described doesn’t sound super awesome what with the youths serving and the eternal virgins and wine that doesn’t intoxicate. Hell sounds terrifying though, I can’t imagine retreating to boiling water out of thirst

Finished 57. Iron , up to 56. The Inevitable

iron does indeed come from the heavens, but there is no inherent violence in it. Also the christian monastics in Egypt were highly observant idk why they didn’t get a mention.

Up to 57: the iron (al Hadid)
Hadid is a word that I’ve heard a lot… , I like coming across Arabic words I’ve heard

Up to 58: the argument

Somewhat turning pleasant in the contents. When Lewis just assumes Christianity instead of trying to argue for it, it means I don’t have to read any bad arguments

False trichotomy

“But in reality we have no experience of anyone liking badness just because it is bad.”
Empiricism for me but not for thee

Up to chapter 5. God and the world.
Hasker’s reading of the Big Bang is intellectually honest, I’m glad for him that it is.

Vice cannot know virtue
Virtue with wisdom can know vice

Up to chapter 3; minds and bodies
Free Will chapter was a little eh, determinism for the WIN

Up to 59. Al hashr

Socrates is my goat

Up to chapter 2
Riveting book
