C.S. Lewis confronts the allegation that if God were good, He would wish to make His creatures perfectly happy, and if God were almighty, He would be able to do what He wished; and that since the creatures are not happy, therefore God lacks either goodness, or power, or both.
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a fellow and tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954 when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement.
