In reading C.S. Lewis, I am always struck by how creative, yet unoriginal he is (in the best way).
The answer to the question "How did C.S. Lewis come up with such a brilliant idea?" is normally always "He didn't come up with it. He read it in an old book."

In his preface to The Great Divorce, C.S. Lewis says: "...creatures grow further apart as they increase in perfection. Good, as it ripens, becomes continually more different not only from evil but from other good."
Aim at the good, and you will become more yourself.

C.S. Lewis had a remarkable talent for "turning the tables" on metaphors, images, and illustrations.
I've noticed some consistent strategies/questions he asked that have helped me engage in arguments.

At the end of The Great Divorce, when the narrator "wakes up" in his study and realizes he was in a vision, he says that "the blocks of light were only the books" which had fallen around him.
Throughout the story, he makes passing references to many books—the works of Aristotle

One thing I noticed while reading Kierkegaard, C.S. Lewis, and others is how frequently they repeat themselves.
If you read widely across their canon, you'll notice the same ideas/themes cropping up over and over again. Just a handful of good ideas can be inexhaustible.

Recently, I discovered the acclaimed Polish mini-series DEKALOG which thematically explores each of the Ten Commandments.
I watched episode one earlier ("You shall have no other gods before me"), and it was well-crafted, harrowing, and thoughtful. Phew.

“The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss—an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc.—is sure to be noticed.”

Just as C.S. Lewis says, "It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak."
So Kierkegaard would say of the modern man that the Lord finds his individualism not too strong, but too weak.
It is a terrifying idea that the self stands before God, alone.

Thinking about the various places C.S. Lewis explains the smallness of sin (The Grey Town, Milton's Satan, Orual, etc).
Sin shrinks our world. It shrinks us. It keeps us from achieving perfection, closes us off to beauty, and makes us resentful.
Sin makes us boring.

Jesus: Who do you say that I am?
German theologian: You are the eschatological manifestation of the ground of our being, the actualization of the God-man relationship, the Kerygma manifest in conflict of the edges of the humanizing process, and the paradigm of human perfection.

In his sermon on Mark 5:25-34, Helmut Thielicke speaks to those who find Christianity interesting or useful, noting they seek to "hold on to the very fringe of his robe."
Yet, the one who seeks honestly has the promise that Jesus will turn around and meet them face to face.
