Curator's Note:
Lewis delivered these addresses during the height of World War II, a context that sharpens his focus on the eternal versus the temporary. He moves past abstract theology to explore the concept of desire—specifically the innate, unsatisfied longing he calls Joy—and argues that every human soul carries a weight of potential glory. It is an essential collection for those who appreciate the intersection of rigorous logic and poetic spiritual intuition.
