Right away, such a definition raises an important point-if God is infinitely moral and powerful, how could he allow pain, suffering, and other forms of evil in the world? In order to resolve this problem, Lewis will turn to the concept of free will-in other words, human beings’ ability to choose what to do and how to act without being controlled by God, Satan, or anyone else. As Lewis shows, Christians define God as an all-powerful being of infinite goodness. Book Two of Mere Christianity is largely concerned with the Christian definition of God-the almighty being who creates the moral law (as discussed in Book One-see above). ![]()
