Neitzche says, "God is dead"-- Lewis staunchly claims the opposite, that man's great project has been his own abolition. These two must run in tandem; one must be true: either we are dead or God is dead, for inherant in the composition of both God and man is the state of supreme reign (alone). It is a familiar concept, particularly in Christian circles, that only one power may reign supreme in the life of a man. What is it, then? Which is the living and which the dead diety?

The Christian answer is fairly simple: even against our reason, we must consider God to be more living than ourselves. In this light, man is most certainly dead: we are told that without God, man is an irretrievable corpse. Even with God, we are ourselves not living: the Bible teaches that it is Christ who lives in us.
