520 |a Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold is one of C. S. Lewis’s last works of fiction. The book can be read as the rewriting of two different myths: The Greek Myth told in Apuleius’s The Golden Ass, and the Christian story, which Lewis himself considered a myth become fact. This article explores how a Christian theology of revelation and sacrifice is articulated through Lewis’s retelling. The article argues that revelation is always ambiguous because it is interpreted through its recipient, but also demonstrates how the demand for sacrifice can be understood as a divine act of love.
