I think That Hideous Strength is a pretty good book (though not as good as the first two). Lewis made some good points in it, although I think it's hilarious when Ransom, a lifelong bachelor written by a another (then) lifelong bachelor confidently tells Jane how to fix her marriage. But I find Pastor Martin's comparison of Ransom's "company" to the early church rather strange. The early church was not a secret society--they welcomed all and proclaimed the Gospel to all very publicly. And what is wrong with being "missional"? Didn't Jesus tell us to share the Gospel and make disciples of all nations (the Great Commission)?
