You must read it. You will not regret it. I think C.S. gives an excellent and plausible account of the underlying philosophy responsible for the fall of the human race. This tale goes beyond the ominous 1984, and lays down a story which I think every modern American can grasp and relate to.

Arguably the greatest science fiction novel ever written!

I will be honest, some might find this book a bit odd, but it explains almost every theory C.S. Lewis wrote about in a single novel. The first two books in the series are good, but not necessary to read before That Hideous Strength. If you are not in the mood for a novel, but you still would like the philosophical and theological theories laid out by Lewis, read Abolition of Man. If you are in the mood for a science fiction novel about the power of the objective moral law and God, than take a stab at the novel.

Mind-boggling! A prophetic freak out of a book! One of the handful of fiction novels that successfully intertwines an amazing philosophy as it's subtext!

Particularly relevant for today. Kind of along the lines of "Brave New World" as in the events taking place allowing Brave New World's world to exist!! Lewis has soothed so many of my conscious and unconscious anxieties about God. For years I have been troubled by the question, "how should an honorable Christian act when it is no longer safe or desirable to admit one's faith?" Or the other question that currently plagues me now, "why is evil and good no longer objective?" It is troubling to recognize oneself as intelligent, morally thoughtful, and wanting to be God fearing in a society where people put God on the same level as a belief in Santa Claus. Maybe that's my pride but it also makes me very frightened and troubled. "That Hideous Strength" was a God sent salve. Thank you again, Jack Lewis! I can't wait to meet you one day.
