C.S. Lewis’s brother, Warren Lewis is much less known of the two, but his life is still very interesting. Diana Glyer came across letters by him and ones written to him that provide an interesting story on its own. The Major and the Missionary gives the reader greater insight into Warrren’s life, while also adding to understanding his more famous brother. Diana shares in this interview parts of the story that show how fascinating this correspondence is between the Major (Warren) and a missionary doctor (Blanche Biggs).

IN THIS REPEAT: The first of a two-part round table discussion of The Hobbit - The book vs. The movies
In book form The Hobbit has been available for nearly 80 years, but the third and final movie installment was just released late last year. No one suggests the three films are perfect adaptations, but how far off do they really miss the mark? William O’Flaherty is joined by Dr. Charlie Starr, Dr. Crystal Hurd and Brenton Dickieson to discuss whether or not one can still enjoy the movies despite their imperfections. This FIRST of two part discussion starts off with considering whether or not the three movies as a whole are better than the individual parts.

IN THIS REPEAT: This is the single interview done with Dr. Devin Brown about his book The Christian World of The Hobbit. I also did a five part series on his book.
PLEASE NOTE: This stand-alone interview was recorded before the FIVE part series on the book was created.
Devin Brown has written several books dealing with The Chronicles of Narnia, and just releasing next month is The Christian World of The Hobbit. Devin is a Professor of English at Asbury University in Kentucky. William O'Flaherty had a chance to speak with him recently about the new book and some issues related to C.S. Lewis.
