You obviously know that C.S. Lewis was a writer, but did you know that he wrote a good deal of advice on writing? That's the focus of this podcast interview about a book called C.S. Lewis and the Art of Writing. The author is Dr. Corey Latta and in this book he's broken that advice down into fifty bit-size chapters that also gives some optional exercises to help you put that advice into practice. The book has a biographical tone to it, so even if you are not a writer you can still enjoy it. Plus, some of the tips on writing can be applied to other creative endeavors.

(Re-Post) C. S. Lewis: Pre-Evangelism for a Post-Christian World (Brian M. Williams)

Tuesday May 17, 2022

IN THIS REPEAT: Learning about Brian William's book C. S. Lewis: Pre-Evangelism for a Post-Christian World.

- - - - - -

Few would deny that C.S. Lewis was a great writer, or that he helped people understand the Christian faith. However, not everyone realizes how his fictional works can help lay a foundation for those who are not Christian to be more open to the faith. Learn more about this in a podcast interview with Dr. Brian M. Williams and his new book C. S. Lewis: Pre-Evangelism for a Post-Christian World. After providing a foundational overview of the life of C.S. Lewis, Williams unfolds what Lewis believed about the nature of reality and his perspective of human imagination. Then he builds on this to explain Lewis's pre-evangelism strategy when creating fictional tales about Narnia and other stories.

The Medieval Mind of C. S. Lewis (Dr. Jason M. Baxter)

Thursday May 12, 2022

What type of mind did C.S. Lewis have? If you were to believe Dr. Jason Baxter, then he clearly had a “medieval” mind. Jason explains what he means by that in this podcast interview (also available on my YouTube channel). The book he discusses is entitled (understatedly) The Medieval Mind of C.S. Lewis. The subtitle spells things out even better: “How Great Books Shaped a Great Mind.” This book is new for 2022 (it was released in March). In this podcast hear Jason share (among other things) about the influence Dante and Boethius had on Lewis and how the medieval picture of the cosmos can still be useful today.

(Re-Post) The A – Z of C.S. Lewis (Colin Duriez)

Thursday Apr 28, 2022

IN THE REPEAT: Another great resource from Colin Duriez from a few years ago.

Many books came out in 2013 on C.S. Lewis (the 50th anniversary of his death). Two alone actually came from Colin Duriez. I’m repeating the interview I did about his second because my previous place of hosting my audio files no longer has it there. The book is called The A – Z of C.S. Lewis: A Complete Guide to His Life, Thoughts and Writings. It takes an encyclopedic approach to the topic and thus provides a person to aspects of Lewis’s life and writings that might be left unnoticed. In this interview Colin provides details about the layout of the book and shares some selections from it.

(Re-Post) No Ordinary People (Joel Heck)

Monday Apr 18, 2022

IN THIS REPEAT - An interview with Joel Heck about No Ordinary People: 21 Friendships of C.S. Lewis.

- - - - - - -

While there are books related to Lewis that explore some of his friendships, none examine the wide range of these relationships like No Ordinary People: 21 Friendships of C.S. Lewis. The author, Dr. Joel Heck, recently spoke about this book that came out in late 2021 to William O'Flaherty. In this podcast hear Joel share from each of the sections, where he reveals interesting facts about the friendship. In the book, they are divided into three categories: Side-by-Side Friends, Opponents, But Friends, Co-Workers and Fellow Pilgrims. Some of the profiles are Janie Moore, Sister Penelope, Arthur C. Clarke, Alec Vidler, Stella Aldwinckle and Maureen Moore.

(Re-Post) From Atheism to Christianity (Dr. Joel Heck)

Monday Mar 21, 2022

IN THIS REPEAT: A chat with Dr. Joel Jeck about his book From Atheism to Christianity.

C. S. Lewis is most known today as a famous Christian who wrote books like The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity. You may even know that before his conversion he struggled with NOT wanting to become a Christian. But how much do you know about that struggle? In this podcast interview, Dr. Joel D. Heck shares about his new title that is an insightful and easy to follow recount of Lewis' return to his earlier faith. The book is called From Atheism to Christianity: The Story of C. S. Lewis. It draws upon extensive research Heck has done and made available on his website.
