It’s still Christmas! To celebrate, we’re sharing David’s recent interview on the “Fantastical Truth” podcast from Lorehaven where he attempts to answer “How Did Lewis and Tolkien Celebrate and Critique Christmas?”
This is our last episode going through “Letters to an American Lady’, picking up today at the start of 1961 and concluding with Lewis’ death in 1963.
The letters between 1959 and 1960 reveal some difficult times for both Jack and Mary, including the death of Jack’s wife, Joy Davidman.
David sat down with Fr. Calvin Robinson to discuss his faith Journey, the state of the church in England, and practical steps to reignite the zeal of Christians in the West.
As the team continue to move through Lewis’ letters to Mary, another American lady enters into the story…
David returned to “The C. S. Lewis Podcast”, attempting to answer the questions: “What did Christmas mean to Lewis?”, “How did Lewis celebrate Christmas?”, and “Was Lewis a bit of a grumpy old man when it came to Christmas?”
David, Matt, and Andrew gather together to swap Christmas traditions and songs.
