**SPOILER ALERT** Listen to this short story first here: "The Man Born Blind" Or find where you can read it at pintswithjack.com/essays We are back with Dr. Charlie W. Starr to talk about the theme of Sensucht in the short story "Light" and in the rest of Lewis' writings. It was Sensucht that alerted Lewis that there was more to this world than this world, and we find it the perfect theme to help us reflect through Advent. Check out Charlie's book on the subject, called "Light: C. S. Lewis' First and Final Short Story". Camille Parkman's song, "Deliverer / O Come O Come Emmanuel" can be found on Spotify and other music platforms for purchase or streaming.

**SPOILER ALERT** Listen to this short story first here: "The Man Born Blind" Or find where you can read it at pintswithjack.com/essays In this part of our conversation with Dr. Charlie W. Starr, we discuss one possible interpretation of "Light" as it pertains to "epistemology" or "how we come to know things". If this is the case, the short story helps us see how imagination and experiential knowing (which Lewis also calls "Looking Along") is as valid as rational "Looking At" ways of knowing. Check out Charlie's book on the subject, called "Light: C. S. Lewis' First and Final Short Story".

**SPOILER ALERT** Because we are finally covering a short story by C. S. Lewis, we recommend to listen to this 11-minute short story first, becuase it has a twist ending we will spoil in the epiosde: Find it on YouTube here: "The Man Born Blind" Or find where you can read it at pintswithjack.com/essays Lewis wrote two slightly different versions of this story, one goes by the title "Light" and the other "The Man Born Blind", but they are very similar and only have small changes to them. Dr. Charlie W. Starr, our guest in the episode, studied Lewis' handwriting to determine when Lewis wrote each version of the story. In this episode, Charlie recaps the story itself, tells us about his journey of working on the manuscript, and explains how the story could be an analogy of sorts to make his point against Owen Barfield in their "Great War". Check out Charlie's book on the subject, called "Light: C. S. Lewis' First and Final Short Story". And his first episodes with us on "Why is Myth?" and "Why Does Myth Matter?"

Myth was important to C. S. Lewis. He thought it should be important to everyone, especially Christians. Before we get to Lewis' essays "On Metaphor and Myth" this season, we check in with Dr. Charlie W. Starr, author of "The Faun's Bookshelf: C. S. Lewis on Why Myth Matters", to ask just that question — why does myth matter? For more on Charlie W. Starr — His Books His Blogs The C. S.

Lewis and the Arts We highly recommend Charlie's interview on his book The Lions Country on the Pints with Jack Podcast as a great counterpart to this episode.

Myth was important to C. S. Lewis. He thought it should be important to everyone, especially Christians. Before we get to Lewis' essays "On Metaphor and Myth" this season, we check in with Dr. Charlie W. Starr, author of "The Faun's Bookshelf: C. S. Lewis on Why Myth Matters", to try and get an overview on what Myth is to Lewis. In short, Myth is a way of languaging, of communicating concrete realities to people so they can know them by experience through their imagination. Or, to quote Charlie, "Myth is perceived in the imagination, comes across in story, and is meant to point us to a higher reality through embodiment in story." For more on Charlie W.

Dr. Charlie W. Starr returns to the show to speak about his latest book, "The Lion's Country: C.S. Lewis's Theory of the Real"...
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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Purchase Light: C.S.

Almost everything we read or "write" today is digital. Words and even books are typed, not written by hand like C.S. Lewis's Narnia Chronicles or The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. In this week's episode, Dr. Charlie W. Starr joins Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing to discuss C.S. Lewis's "villainous handwriting." Charlie explain how we can learn a lot about Lewis and his undated manuscripts by studying how Lewis's purposefully changed his handwriting over the course of his life.
"Is Man a Myth"? is one question we try to answer in tonight's episode with my special guest, Dr. Charlie W. Starr, author of The Faun's Bookshelf: C.S. Lewis on Why Myth Matters. In addition to delving into Starr's take on Lewis's understanding of myth, meaning, truth, and reality, I also ask him to share his expertise on C.S. Lewis's handwriting (Dr. Starr is the world's leading expert on Lewis's handwriting!), his own definition of myth, and the value of myth in Christian apologetics and discipleship. We may have raised more questions than we did answer them in this episode, but it was great fun and I got to meet another one of my theological heroes (Dr. Markos and Dr. Starr in one month!?).
