He Came down from Heaven and the Forgiveness of Sins

He Came down from Heaven and the Forgiveness of Sins

4/5
(44 votes)

These two long essays make up, with The Descent of the Dove, Charles Williams' principal theological writing.

With these books and with The Figure of Beatrice the reader is as fully equipped as possible for studying the religious thought of this brilliant poet, novelist, essayist and historian.

Charles Williams was one of the finest-not to mention one of the most unusual-theologians of the twentieth century.

His mysticism is palpable-the unseen world interpenetrates ours at every point, and spiritual exchange occurs all the time, unseen and largely unlooked for.

His novels are legend, and as a member of the Inklings, he contributed to the mythopoetic revival in contemporary culture.

Very weird; sometimes incomprehensible; but often very stimulating.

This volume collects two books that are oddities among Charles Williams' writing. They don't fit easily into the categories of fiction, plays, poetry, history or biography.

About Charles

Charles is an All-American, free range, emotional rock band based around the southern side of New Hampshire. The four-piece came together after high school, when their first few bands started calling it quits. They are named after a dead cat. A good cat. A real friend. Charles' driving drums and bass swirl into a high power gut-punch while the twin guitars soar into a cacophony of dirt and grit, all while heart strings are tugged by the three vocalist's simplistic approach to writing sappy emo tunes fit for any angsty punk rocker. This self-titled EP is the first release since the band put out their demo, and they hope you enjoy it. Charles loves you....
