This might be my favorite thing you've written, and I already have a list of favorite things you've written, so that's saying something. You've brought together a lot of threads that have been at the edge of my thinking with that "safe" vs" tame" nuance. And I love that it's not a post about canceling Lewis.
You put it so well here:
"...sometimes C.S. Lewis had words for what that untamed holiness was. Jesus, though, is the final word about what God looks like. And when storms overwhelmed the disciples, Jesus was the safest thing."
Safe? Of Course He's Safe
Love this reflection on C.S. Lewis' work! Yes, yes, to all you wrote!
so well said. “God is untamed” will stick with me.
