In this video, former guest of the show, Sarah O’Dell, lectures on Dr. R.E. Havard. Often called the “medical Inkling,” Havard was a Catholic writer, physician, and one of C.S. Lewis’s closest friends. This lecture explores the life and writings of this often-overlooked literary doctor, considering not only his profound influence on C.S. Lewis, but also revealing the riches of his medical imagination. In making room for the soul, Havard’s holistic vision of health articulates a Christian response to mental illness, as well as recognizes the healing power of literature and the arts.
