//Modern to Contemporary Literature: An Examination of Themes in World Literature //

Essential Questions
 * Why is it important to envision what heaven will be like?
 * What does the temporary world we live in offer in regard to physical and abstract temptations that lure us to choose the souvenirs of Hell [and this earth] rather than the things of heaven?
 * How is choosing sin an attempt to marry Heaven and Hell as well as choosing to separate from God?
 * What does C.S. Lewis present as the ultimate consequence of everyday behavior [and choices]? Is this valid?
 * How do people become “shades” or shadows of themselves when they choose actions of disorder and that which God is not a part of?
 * Why do we have such deluded senses? Why do we have such a deluded sense of self?
 * How is our temporary, as wonderful a world this is, nothing compared to what God had intended it to be and what heaven is?
 * What does divorce mean? What are the implications and consequences for the soul that chooses to “divorce” God?
 * What are the lies and myths that surround our notions of the action of divorce?
 * According to Lewis, how might a soul be restored from the fragmenting power and consequence of sin?
