If God is not hidden then humans are no longer savable, because covenant specifies that humans need faith to be saved.

Sadly CS Lewis is not known to muslims or the muslim world, as a muslim I really enjoy his insights his wish to connect to God will resonate with your average muslim. There is a lot of common ground within all 3 Abrahamic religions but the point of departure for us is who christ was, for us he was indeed the messiah/God`s prophet but not divine/Son of God, our view of sin and the problem of suffering are also very different to how CS Lewis would articulate it, I enjoyed the podcast
