Between Heaven and Hell (novel)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Between Heaven and Hell is a fictional novel by Peter Kreeft about President John F. Kennedy, and authors C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia) and Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) meeting in "Limbo" or "Purgatory" and engaging in a philosophical discussion on faith. It was inspired by the fact that all three men died on November 22, 1963. We see from the three points of view: Kennedy's "humanist" or "modern Christian" view, Lewis's "conservative Christian" or "mere Christian" view, and Huxley's "Orientalized Christian" view. The book progresses as Lewis and Kennedy discuss Jesus' being God incarnate, to Lewis and Huxley discussing whether or not Jesus was a "deity" or "just a good person." ISBN 0-87784-389-9
