The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis

Description: Here, Lewis looks at the nature of love, dividing it into four categories; affection, friendship, eros and charity, the latter of which he claims is divine in its source and expression and without which the others become distorted and even dangerous.

For centuries Christians have been tormented by one question above all - "If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?"

C.S. Lewis sets out to disentangle this knotty issue, but wisely adds that in the end no intellectual solution can dispense with the necessity of patience and courage.
