"Meanwhile," said Mr. Tumnus, "it is winter in Narnia, and has been for ever so long, and we shall both catch cold if we stand here talking in the snow…"
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis
What if it happened again during the digital revolution? Do people still care about the big questions? The meaning of life. The afterlife. God.
Is the good news still good news when all we seem to get are the bad parts of the good news?
If God loved the world so much that he gave his only son so that we wouldn't really perish but instead survive our way to heaven, then what does that actually mean for us today? And how is it good news if it is just about the afterlife? Is it good news that God is loving if he rarely seems loving to us when it comes to getting what we want?
If there really is a war with God among human souls, then at what point does that war cease and a truce occur? When does dialogue resume? Should apologies be made? Who should apologise to who?
And if that ever happens... what then?
How does a revival happen anyway? Slowly or all at once? In one place or in many? What would the effects be on the government, on the economy, on society? Would laws change? What would it mean for drug dealers? Or other trades? Would it be bad for business? Would things get better or worse? Let's speculate.
What would people think? What would people say?
If there really is a revival outside Europe and the US - then why has Britain missed out for so long? Who is to blame?
I'm a freelance writer who has been covering this topic for over twenty years. In this blog I will try to take a balanced look at all the different views on revival. I can't tell you what people would think... (we can think what we will and I don't believe in thought crime). But I can tell you some of the things that people say... and what they do...
