(Re-Post) The Lion’s Country (Charlie Starr)

Monday Jan 16, 2023

IN THIS REPEAT: Here's an interview I recently had about The Lion's Country, a book by Charlie Starr that came out in late 2022.

- - - -

The Lion’s Country: C.S. Lewis’s Theory of the Real (released in December 2022) by Charlie Starr is somewhat of a follow-up to The Faun’s Bookshelf (released in 2018). In this podcast interview with William O’Flaherty, Charlie first explains the difference between the two, before providing a brief glimpse into The Lion’s Country itself. While the topic deals with deep philosophical issues, Charlie’s book (and the interview) provides clear and understandable explanations for the average person that those versed in the topic can appreciate. In addition to listening to the podcast version, you can also watch the same interview via YouTube (see below).

(Re-Post) The Heart of Light (Dr. Charlie Starr)

Friday Oct 15, 2021

IN THIS REPEAT: I usually don't stray too far from material related to Lewis, but here's somewhat of an exception. A fictional work by a Lewis scholar that had inspiration from him.

I'm sharing an interview from respected C.S. Lewis scholar Dr. Charlie Starr, but it's not directly about Lewis. However, Charlie does announce news about upcoming articles related to Lewis towards the end of the show. However, the main focus is on a brand new fictional book that is influenced in part by Lewis and done in the vein of his Science Fiction trilogy. The book is called The Heart of Light: A Tale of Solomon Star and it is the first of what should be many great adventures. This is also different in another way, I had Dr. Crystal Hurd, a frequent guest on All About Jack conduct the interview. As you may remember she actually did another interview for me in 2013. It was a brief visit with Dr. Malcolm Guite.

(Re-Post) 17r Essay Chat - Horrid Red Things (Dr. Charlie Starr)

Wednesday Sep 15, 2021

IN THIS REPEAT: Here's an essay chat with Dr. Charlie Starr about the shorter work entitled HORRID RED THINGS.

After beginning an occasional series examining a single essay from Lewis in 2012 and doing more than a dozen that year, I ended up doing a lot fewer since that time. The following discussion with Dr. Charlie Starr was first released in April, 2013. It’s on the essay “Horrid Red Things.” The hope is that by listening to this essay chat you will want to read or re-read it. “Horrid Red Things” can be most easily found in a collection called God in the Dock. Charlie has been on several other shows since this essay chat. Be sure to check the links below to hear the other programs.

(Re-Post) Light: C.S. Lewis‘s First and Final Short Story (Dr. Charlie Starr)

Wednesday Sep 08, 2021

IN THIS REPEAT: An earlier program from 2012 about a lost Lewis story that is a different version of one already known.

This book interview is from 2012, but it had not yet been featured here since changing the podcast audio hosting. It is a conversation with Dr. Charlie W. Starr and his book Light: C.S. Lewis's First and Final Short Story. It tells the story of how a manuscript surfaced that appeared to be a different version of a short story called "The Man Born Blind." The book reveals the results of his investigation and includes several interpretations of "Light." The interview was recorded at the 2012 C.S. Lewis Colloquium at Taylor University.

(Re-Post) Northwind Seminary (Michael Christensen and Charlie Starr)

(Re-Post) The Faun‘s Bookshelf (Dr. Charlie Starr)

Wednesday Sep 01, 2021

IN THIS REPEAT: An interview about The Faun's Bookshelf by Dr. Charlie Starr. A book released last year (2018).

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). Special thanks to Dr. Crystal Hurd who voiced the endorsement given at the start and also an excerpt from Charlie's book.
