Today’s guest is someone whom David saw posting regularly on an online C.S. Lewis forum. He enjoyed her posts discovered that she had met Lewis, so he invited her onto the show for a chat, both about her life and her book, “O Love How Deep”…
Former guest of the show, Justin Wiggins, returns to talk about his latest book, “Surprised By Myth”.
Jack’s doctor was Dr. R.E. Havard. In today’s episode, David interviews Sarah O’Dell, a scholar who is writing a book on this lesser-known Inkling.
Many people know Lewis as a fiction writer and as an apologist, but fewer know him as a medievalist. Dr. Jason Baxter unpacks what that means and why it’s important.
Occasionally one comes across a person who makes bold claims about “The Chronicles of Narnia”, not only denying that it’s the greatest children’s fiction ever written, but also that it is filled with sexism and racism. Dr. Devin Brown returns to the show to respond to these accusations.
We wrap up “Apologetics Month” today by talking to former guest of the show, Dr. Holly Ordway. For most of this month we’ve focussed on specific apologetics arguments, but today we speak more broadly about the subject of “Imaginative Apologetics”.
Although it didn’t originate with him, one of the arguments which C.S. Lewis is best known for is his “Trilemma”. Who is Jesus? A good teacher or something else? Apologist Jimmy Akin walks us through the various options.
When Matt and David went through “Mere Christianity” in Season 1, Matt said that he struggled with “The Moral Argument for God”, so in today’s episode he sits down with apologist Trent Horn to hash it out.
Today we talk with Dr. Victor Reppert, a name intimately associated with The Argument From Reason, which Lewis puts forth most famously in his book, “Miracles”.
