(Re-post) WRL02 - Dymer
00:0000:00
IN THIS REPEAT; From my series about why you should read Lewis; this one about his poem Dymer.
This podcast focuses on one of the lesser known works by C.S. Lewis; a long narrative poem entitled Dymer. This show is part of an occasional series indirectly begun in 2016 and officially kicked-off this year, 2017. The series is called "Why Read Lewis," and the aim is to encourage you to read or re-read works written by Lewis. Today's program features just three individuals reflecting and/or summarizing Dymer. They are Dr. Jerry Root, Dr. Crystal Hurd and Dr. Don King.
Dymer was first published in 1926, prior to Lewis becoming a Christian and was later reprinted in 1950.

The Faun's Bookshelf is an interesting title that explores, as part of the subtitle reveals, "Why Myth Matters." Dr. Charlie Starr, the author, uses books C.S. Lewis mentions on Mr. Tumnus's bookshelf as the framework to examine what myth means and how it teaches us about reality. This interviewed was recorded on the campus of Taylor University the day before the 11th Frances W. Ewbank Colloquium, where he gave one of the keynote talks. Even though Charlie goes into a lot of deal about his book in this interview, you will learn even more about myth by purchasing his book (direct link given below). Speak thanks to Dr. Crystal Hurd who voiced the endorsement given at the start and also an except from Charlie's book.
Here's another podcast featuring content from the recent 2018 Taylor Colloquium. This time it's the third and final show of highlights from the keynote addresses. This one features excepts from Crystal Hurd and Crystal Downing.
Here's another podcast featuring content from the recent 2018 Taylor Colloquium. This time it's more highlights from the keynote addresses. This one features about twelve minutes each from Joe Christopher and D.S. Martin. Christopher's topic was "C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman Disagree about a Phoenix." Martin spoke on "A Poetic Look at C.S. Lewis." Two more talks were given and will be shared as well; the notes below will be updated with links to them when they are available. Also below are links to the two-part panel discussion.
This is not a typical edition of the All About Jack podcast. Most of my shows are interviews with authors about a book completely focused on C.S. Lewis or one of his friends. This program features an interview with Justin Wiggins about his autobiographical book entitled Surprised by Agape. As you will hear in the interview (and notice from the book cover), C.S. Lewis had a profound impact on his life. This brief work also shares how George MacDonald and the music of Switchfoot also played a role in his life; which included struggles that Justin had with unbelief and suicidal thoughts.
