Podcasts about George MacDonald

Joseph Weigel from the Men With Chests podcast joins me to talk about NICE Alchemy!  By which I don't mean, "Whoa, that was some really sweet alchemy you were doing just now, dude! NICE!" But rather, the connection between science and magic as practiced by the National Institute for Co-ordinated Experiments (N.I.C.E.) in C.S. Lewis' final novel in his space trilogy, That Hideous Strength. It's weird stuff. And Merlin's involved, naturally. That guy. This is part discussion, part interview, because Joseph has recently published an article in Sehnsucht about connections between the N.I.C.E.'s experiments and alchemy. Read it here: https://digitalcommons.georgefox.edu/cslewisjournal/vol18/iss1/11/ Also, be on the lookout for Joseph's forthcoming book, Planet Thulcandra. It hasn't come out as of the publication of this podcast, but it's on its way! Be sure to check out Men With Chests while you're at it!   There is a lot more to come this season! It seems likely that (because this is only coming out once every two weeks), it will extend well into the Fall. In the vault, I have: A roundtable on The Abolition of Man A conversation about the Walking Tours that members of the Inklings took A discussion of George MacDonald's Lilith A series on the OHEL ...and quite a bit more. Shoot me an email to say hi if you're listening--I appreciate hearing from people who enjoy this podcast! And please do leave a rating and review if you can. It's nice to know when this is actually getting heard by someone!

Listen along as we continue our series through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 5:1-16 - Jack Reading Title: Smelling Salts “Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.”  - Oliver Wendell Holmes 20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
  turn your ear to my words. 21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them
 and health to one's whole body. 23 Above all else, guard your heart,
 for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:20-23) “Half of the misery in the world comes from trying to look, instead of trying to be, what one is not.” - George MacDonald  8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.  (1Peter 5:8 NASB95)  7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.  (James 4:7 NASB95) “do not give the devil a foothold.” (Ephesians 4:27 ESV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”  (Eph. 6:12 ESV) “if God acted in the same way today that he did in the fifth chapter of Acts, you'd have to have a morgue in the basement of every church and a mortician on the pastoral staff.” - Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse “…you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”  (Matt. 16:18 ESV) “Our takeaways from the text should probably be no more and no less than that of the people who witnessed the event: fear and awe. God is a holy God who vanquishes evil and zealously defends his holiness. His judgments are his, and he only makes some of them known. Why did God strike down Ananias and Sapphira rather than give them a chance to repent? How is it that Satan filled Ananias' heart to lie (v. 3) but that Ananias also contrived the sin himself (v. 4)? Why didn't Peter show the same grace toward Ananias and Sapphira that he was shown for his deceit and denial of the Lord (Matt 26:69-75)? We do not know. The text does not speak to these questions, though other passages may help us find answers. Ultimately, though, it's the text that demands an answer from you: Do you fear God?” - F.F. Bruce “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others.” (2 Cor. 5:10&11 ESV)

V knihe nájdete 4 príbehy - pre deti sú to rozprávky, pre dospelých duchovné podobenstvo. Napríklad príbeh rozmaznanej princeznej Rosamond a tvrdohlavej pastierky Agnes, ktoré sa ocitnú v starostlivosti tajomnej Múdrej panej, nie je len rozprávkou o výchove. George MacDonald predkladá hlboké príbehy o premene charakteru, vnútornej pravde a láske, ktorá nevychováva cukrom, ale ohňom. Kniha, ktorá inšpirovala C. S. Lewisa aj J. R. R. Tolkiena, ponúka viac než poučenie – ponúka zrkadlo našej vlastnej duše. Je to skrátka nadčasová klasika, ktorá osloví každého, kto túži po skutočnom dozrievaní. Ukážku číta Margita Vanovčanová.

Dr. Gisela Kreglinger, who grew up on a family-owned winery in Franconia, Germany, is an independent researcher who long ago noticed the peculiar prominence of wine and vineyards in both the Old and New Testaments. In this episode she talks about learning the biblical languages in preparation for her work and their contribution to a sound understanding of the Bible's topics. In doing so, she highlights some key lessons taught through the agricultural theme of wine and vineyards in the Bible. Dr. Kreglinger has published Cup Overflowing: Wine's Place in Faith, Feasting, and Fellowship and The Spirituality of Wine, among other things. She also contributed articles to The Oxford Companion to Wine.

I have read it so many times before, but my eyes fastened on the word, "ponder" this time. I was glued to the thought that "the Lord ponderth the hearts."Ponder means to "weigh in the mind, appraise, to think about, reflect on or consider especially, quietly, soberly, and deeply. Especially for a noticeable length of time. To meditate in a deeper process, than just thinking." Typically we only attribute that word only for us as we ponder the word of God. But instead it was the Lord that I richly sensed that wanted to get my attention to the fact that He ponders our hearts in His own loving, quiet reflecting. Especially noticeable lengths of time. I thought of the depths of His ever-searching eyes that pierce through into places so closed up and secret. How deeply He knows us!In this busy, loud, chaotic world, make it your practice to be still and quiet always before Him. Pray meditiatively, read your Bibles meditatively, and when you do, consider that God is pondering your heart the same way and at the same time. This is the purest union and communion with Him in sweetest loving exchange."Heaven...a place where everything that is not music is silence." ~ George MacDonald

我们在人生的不同阶段，对勇敢的理解总会有所不同。幼年时，当我们蹒跚学步，勇敢是摔倒后仍坚定地爬起来，再次迈出脚步。求学阶段，勇敢是在学业的战场上奋勇拼搏。面对堆积如山的作业，以及激烈的竞争，我们毫不退缩、绝不逃避。随着年龄增长，我们逐渐成熟。勇敢意味着离开熟悉的家乡，奔赴陌生的城市，去追寻心中的梦想。在那里，我们独自面对生活的压力与挑战，即使心中满是辛酸，也只能默默承受、独自消化。今天我们要分享的这句话：“You must learn to be strong in the dark as well as in the day, else you will always be only half brave.”这里的 “黑夜” 与 “白昼” 有着深刻的寓意。白昼里的坚强，是他人能看见的勇敢。我们在阳光下展现自信与风采，轻易便能收获他人的赞美与鼓励。然而，黑暗中的挫折往往不为人知。当我们独自在黑暗中挣扎，遭受着无人知晓的痛苦与磨难，又该如何自处？乔治・唐克纳德特别强调了这一点：无论何时，我们都要保持勇敢，坚守坚强。学习英语亦是如此。如果我们学习英语仅仅是为了获得他人的赞扬、鼓励与认可，那么当这些外界的激励消失时，我们是否就会轻易放弃？同学们，一定要时刻牢记自己学习英语的初心，不要被外界的声音左右。无论顺境还是逆境，都要坚定地走下去。加油！乔治·麦克唐纳（George MacDonald,1824～1905）为苏格兰作家，一 生中创作了三十多部小说，被誉为“维多利亚时代童话之王”。1855年，出版了他的第一部作品——长篇悲剧诗《里里外外》，受到著名儿童文学作家金斯利和广大读者的赞赏。1858年，发表了《幻境》，五年后又推出了《大卫·爱尔琴布洛德》。1871年，他发表了自己最著名的儿童读物《北风的背后》。他专为儿童所作的作品，除《公主和妖魔》外，还有《拉纳德·巴内曼的童年》（1871）、《古塔·珀查·威利》（1873）和《聪明女人》（1875）。1877年，以连载形式开始发表另一部优秀儿童作品《公主和柯迪》。他的作品十分畅销，与 《鲁滨逊漂流记》、 《小人国与大人国》、 《宝岛》和《爱丽斯漫游仙境》并列为英国儿童古典文学名著。在麦克唐纳的世界里，人性一直就是被关注的中心。他始终相信，充满情感的心灵就是打开整个世界的金钥匙。更多卡卡老师分享公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu001送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包，帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路 Quote to learn for todayYou must learn to be strong in the dark as well as in the day, else you will always be only half brave.——George MacDonald翻译你必须学会在黑暗中和白昼一样坚强，否则你永远只是半个勇者。— 乔治・麦克唐纳

From the Old Winyards: It's Time for the Feast of Good Children (to which not many are invited). ___________________________________ Kora Burton joins Chris to discuss Tolkien's last fairy (or is it faerie?) story, "Smith of Wootton Major."   Smith of Wootton Major (1967) is Tolkien's last work of fiction and was begun as part of an Introduction to an edition of George MacDonald's The Golden Key–an edition that was never published.  Tolkien began by writing a kind of parable about a stupid baker making a cake for children that inadvertently had something faerian in it.  But when he found this illustration was taking on a life of its own, he discarded the introduction entirely and worked on the story–which he realized was in part a critique of the things he did not like about George MacDonald, among other Victorians (still, I find it owes a real debt to The Golden Key and Phantastes, as much as it does to anything medieval).  Smith of Wootton Major is a short story, a parable about the nature of what Tolkien called “fayery” or “Faerie,” an evocative fairy tale in its own right, as well as a melancholy meditation on the loss of artistic capacity.  Though told simply enough for children to understand its plot, Tolkien called it “an old man's book.” One of my favorite history of English podcasts, just in case you want more philology or historical linguistics: https://historyofenglishpodcast.com/ Thanks as always to Logan Huggins for producing this episode!   If you have any questions or would like to contact us, please do so at inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com.  We'd love to hear from you.

This December marks the 200th anniversary of George MacDonald's birth. He is regarded by many as the father of modern fantasy literature, and wrote books that have baptised many people's imaginations, including C.S. Lewis, who said that he thinks he has "never written a book in which I did not quote from him". We want to spend an evening introducing him to those of you who might not know much about him, sharing a few of our favourite books (The Princess and the Goblin, Phantases, At the Back of the North Wind), and honouring this man, whose every printed word points to a God whom he believes comes to meet us wherever we are and to point and draw us to Himself.Please note that the ideas expressed in this lecture do not necessarily represent the views of L'Abri Fellowship.For more resources, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library at labriideaslibrary.org. The library contains over two thousand lectures and discussions that explore questions about the reality and relevance of Christianity.

Dr. Timothy Larsen joins the show to talk about his new book, "George MacDonald and the Age of Miracles" to discuss Incarnation, Doubt, and Re-enchantment. [Show Notes]

Dr. Kerry Dearborn joins David to discuss the theology and imagination of George MacDonald. [Show Notes]

Dr. Joyce McPherson joins David to tell the story of George MacDonald, drawing from her biography called "Spiritual Sight: The Story of George MacDonald". [Show Notes]

In his parable The Wise Woman, George MacDonald tells the story of two girls, whose selfishness brings misery to all, including themselves, until a Wise Woman puts them through a series of tests to help them become “lovely” again. After the girls fail each test and suffer shame and isolation, one of them, Rosamond, finally realizes she can’t change herself. “Couldn’t you help me?” she asks the Wise Woman. “Perhaps I could,” the woman replied, “now that you ask me.” And with the divine help symbolized by the Wise Woman, Rosamond begins to change. She then asks if the woman would forgive all the trouble she’s caused. “If I had not forgiven you,” the woman says, “I would never have taken the trouble to punish you.” There are times when God disciplines us. It’s important to understand why. His correction isn’t driven by retribution but by a fatherly concern for our welfare (Hebrews 12:6). He also desires that we may “share in his holiness,” enjoying a harvest of “righteousness and peace” (vv. 10–11). Selfishness brings misery, but holiness makes us whole, joyful, and “lovely” like Him. Rosamond asks the Wise Woman how she can love a selfish girl like her. Stooping to kiss her, the woman replies, “I saw what you were going to be.” God’s correction too comes with love and a desire to make us who we’re meant to be.

Welcome to a new episode of The Literary Life podcast and an interview with special guest Dr. Vigen Guroian, retired professor of Religious Studies and Orthodox Christianity at the University of Virginia and author of twelve book and numerous scholarly articles. Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks discuss with Dr. Guroian the new edition of his book, Tending the Heart of Virtue. They start out talking about how the first edition of this book came about, which leads into a discussion about the current approach to fairy tales and children's stories in both academia and the publishing industry. Other topics of conversation include the problem with reducing stories down to a moral, story as mystery, the place of fairy tales in classical education, and the Biblical literacy of the authors of fairy tales. Dr. Guroian also shares his thoughts on people like John Ruskin and Rudyard Kipling. Finally, he shares some suggestions on finding good editions of fairy tale collections. (Scroll down for links to his book recommendations.) Commonplace Quotes: It seems to me appropriate, almost inevitable, that when that great Imagination which in the beginning, for Its own delight and for the delight of men and angels and (in their proper mode) of beasts, had invented and formed the whole world of Nature, submitted to express Itself in human speech, that speech should sometimes be poetry. For poetry too is a little incarnation, giving body to what had been before invisible and inaudible. C. S. Lewis, from Reflections on the Psalms Reason is the natural organ of truth, but imagination is the organ of meaning. C. S. Lewis Inertia has served them so well that they did not know how to relinquish it. E. M. Forster, from Pharos and Pharillon “Happy children,” say I, “who could blunder into the very heart of the will of God concerning them, and do the thing at once that the Lord taught them, using the common sense which God had given and the fairy tale nourished!” The Lord of the promise is the Lord of all true parables and all good fairy tales. George MacDonald, from The Elect Lady The Spring By Thomas Carew Now that the winter's gone, the earth hath lost Her snow-white robes, and now no more the frost Candies the grass, or casts an icy cream Upon the silver lake or crystal stream; But the warm sun thaws the benumbed earth, And makes it tender; gives a sacred birth To the dead swallow; wakes in hollow tree The drowsy cuckoo, and the humble-bee. Now do a choir of chirping minstrels bring In triumph to the world the youthful Spring. The valleys, hills, and woods in rich array Welcome the coming of the long'd-for May. Now all things smile, only my love doth lour; Nor hath the scalding noonday sun the power To melt that marble ice, which still doth hold Her heart congeal'd, and makes her pity cold. The ox, which lately did for shelter fly Into the stall, doth now securely lie In open fields; and love no more is made By the fireside, but in the cooler shade Amyntas now doth with his Chloris sleep Under a sycamore, and all things keep Time with the season; only she doth carry June in her eyes, in her heart January.
