Writing to his brother, W.H. Lewis, C.S. Lewis tells of an evening spent with Tolkien, Charles Williams, and C.L.Wrenn discussing matters of the bible. He notes that they talked on "the most distressing text in the Bible (“narrow is the way and few they be that find it”) and whether one really could believe in a universe where the majority were damned and also in the goodness of God".
