Tom – Your posting regarding “contented worldliness” is quite good and brings to bear on the question (What is contented worldliness?) intellectual resources that provide an answer. But, I believe that in order to use C. S. Lewis’ exposition of the devil’s machinations for our own betterment we must identify those of our behaviors and attitudes that indict us of contented worldliness. Where in our everyday lives do we exhibit contented worldliness? How does our culture encourage such behavior? What countermeasures can we take to correct out attitudes and behaviors?
