Since its publication three quarters of a century ago, C. S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has introduced millions of delighted readers to the magical world of Narnia. Far less well known is his shorter work, The Great Divorce, published five years earlier and presenting a dream vision reflecting on the Christian conceptions of Heaven and Hell. Even if we do not share all his theological and philosophical views, we can still find in that work a range of fascinating images and provocative ideas about how to shape our lives in more “heavenly” directions.
