All About Jack: A C.S. Lewis Podcast

IN THIS REPEAT - Dr. Hal Poe shares about his bio on the early life of C.S. Lewis in Becoming C.S. Lewis.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How well do you know C.S. Lewis? You probably don't know Jack as well as you think, until you know his early life. Or more accurately, nearly all of Lewis' interests and tastes were formed in his first twenty years. That is the new book by Dr. Harry Lee (Hal) Poe, entitled Becoming C.S. Lewis examines these early years and shows how his youth influenced his later life and writings. This podcast interview features Dr. Poe explaining how he came to write this book (the first of three) and why knowing Jack Lewis (his friends called him "Jack") is best understood by exploring his formative years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Buy Becoming C.S.

Tolkien, whom he worked with for many years at Oxford University. Just as with Lewis, there are many misconceptions about Tolkien. One is that he "read very little modern fiction, and took no serious notice of it." Dr. Holly Ordway has studied the issue for many years and discovered Tolkien was much more aware of modern culture and the inspiration for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings was not only medieval. She joined William O'Flaherty for a podcast interview to share her insightful findings.

IN THIS REPEAT: A reminder of my 3rd episode of "200 Seconds in Hell" that is about humility.  Practicing humility can be a very humbling experience, one that might just lead to pride! At least that's what Wormwood is partly told he should try to make happen with his patient in The Screwtape Letters. In this third episode of "200 Seconds in Hell with C.S. Lewis" you'll be reminded about some of the ways the devils try to twist humility to make it a weapon for their gain. 2017 is the 75th anniversary of when The Screwtape Letters was first published.

Two guests join me to share a hopeful perspective about the movie while acknowledging its shortcomings. They are Dr. Diana Glyer, a respected scholar on Tolkien and Lewis, and Brenton Dickieson who is a Lewis scholar nearing his completion of Ph.D. studies on Lewis.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Visit Diana Glyer's Website Visit Brenton Dickieson's site - A Pilgrim in Narnia Articles/Reviews - Tolkien: My Defiant Appreciation of the Biopic Tolkien (Brenton article) The Tolkien Film and the Problem of Beauty: Guest Blog at the Forefront Festiva (Brenton)   Reflections on the New Tolkien Film (Rabbit Room/Andrew Peterson) Classes Offered by Signum University (mentioned by Brenton) Azusa Pacific University (where Diana teaches) Other Useful Links: Knowing and Understanding C.S.

Here's a repeat of an interview with Dr. Crystal Hurd about her book The Leadership of C.S. Lewis.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is a leader? Was C.S. Lewis a leader? Dr. Crystal Hurd has thought about this for over a decade and concluded he definitely was because (among other things) of the influence or impact he has had on so many people. After completing her doctoral thesis in 2012 where she examined the topic, she expanded her research and the result is a book new for 2022, The Leadership of C.S. Lewis. In this podcast interview, she provides an overview of (as her subtitle reveals) the ten traits of a leader that encourages change and growth. They include humility, courage, resilience, and creativity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Purchase a copy of The Leadership of C.S.

Dr. Sarah Waters shares her familiarity with Shakespeare to help understand this shorter work.  - - - - - - - - "Hamlet: The Prince or the Poem?" is an essay from the academic side of C.S. Lewis. However, even if you are less interested in this type of material, you will still find some useful information from what he discusses. This is part of an occasional podcast series of "essay chats." Dr. Sarah Waters speaks with William O'Flaherty about the essay. Currently, Sarah is an honorary junior research fellow at the University of Buckingham.

IN THIS REPEAT:: The Collected Poems of C.S. Lewis edited by Don King.  Some Lewis readers are unaware that he wrote poetry (or at best are uninterested in it). Dr. Don King, editor of The Collected Poems of C.S. Lewis: A Critical Edition, believes such individuals are missing out on not only gaining a better understanding of the author, but they are also depriving themselves of some great writings. William O'Flaherty spoke with him about the scope of this new book (scheduled to released January 7, 2015) that brings together nearly all of the poetry of C.S. Lewis.
