For this short essay, write the following on the chapter “Charity” from the Four Loves

Discuss at least two ways C.S. Lewis’ insights and/or way of writing about agape can help/ revivify/ renew/ challenge/ etc. the modern American church. Then write a paragraph on some issue or problem with the chapter that is a problem/ dilemma/ issue for the modern church.

With this problem paragraph, I don’t necessarily mean a weakness or incorrectness in the chapter. I mean more something like how are we so different or so far from what Lewis was writing (such as the culture of the time, or the church of England context, etc.), that the chapter will have some difficulty in speaking to us in 21st Century America. So, I am not asking for a criticism of the chapter, but a comment on some way in which it might not communicate effectively any more.

Begin the paper with an introductory paragraph that clearly states your thesis. Move through each paragraph point by point, using transitional language. Stick to your topic and don’t just summarize or express your own reaction to the chapter
