Perhaps this thread should be retitled "David Cloud: His Theology and Where he is Really Coming From"

At any rate, most of what you'll read about Lewis' doctrinal errors are true, despite his "iconic" status among even the most conservative evangelicals. I'm ok with the errors because Lewis was not and never claimed to be a theologian, though many people refer to and cite him as such. I think his greatest works are the Narnia Chronicles and the Screwtape Letters (Mere Christianity is greatly overrated, at least as a work of popular apologetics), both of which are purely literary products informed by a great deal of spiritual insight and theological truth. When Lewis is right about something (and he is most of the time) he expresses it better than just about anyone else, and he is well worth reading for that reason. Nevertheless, it does bother me that he gets off so easily among evangelicals (Reformed and Arminian) compared to men like Karl Barth or Soren Kierkegaard who were arguably more, but certainly not less orthodox than he.
