Sept 2023: Letters to Malcolm: 6-10

In September 2023, we continue our discussion of Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer. Our focus will be Letters 6-10. Here are passages we might discuss:

Letter 6: “This department of life, labelled “sacred,” can become an end in itself'; an idol that hides both God and my neighbours” (p30).

Letter 7: Petitionary prayer is “recommended to us both by precept and example. Our Lord in Gethsemane made a petitionary prayer (and did not get what he asked for)” (p35).

Arend Smilde's Lewisiana site has helpful notes for quotations and allusions in Letters to Malcolm.
