On this week's episode of Inklings we go over the talk by Ronald A. Rasband: Right Before Our Eyes
“Nichts, was wir nicht weggegeben haben, wird jemals wirklich unser sein.” C. S. Lewis C. S. Lewis (Clive Staples Lewis, 1898–1963) war ein britischer Schriftsteller, Literaturwissenschaftler und christlicher Denker. Er ist vor allem bekannt für seine Werke der Fantasy-Literatur sowie für seine theologischen und apologetischen Schriften. Hier sind einige wichtige Fakten über ihn: 1. Leben Geboren: 29. November 1898 in Belfast, Nordirland. Gestorben: 22. November 1963 in Oxford, England (am selben Tag wie John F. Kennedy und Aldous Huxley). Lewis war Professor für mittelalterliche und englische Literatur an der Universität Oxford und später an der Universität Cambridge. 2. Literarisches Werk Die Chroniken von Narnia: Seine bekannteste Buchreihe, die aus sieben Bänden besteht und ein Klassiker der Kinder- und Fantasy-Literatur ist. Beispiele: Der König von Narnia (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) und Der letzte Kampf (The Last Battle). Science-Fiction-Trilogie: Die Perelandra-Reihe, die philosophische und theologische Themen in Science-Fiction verpackt. Theologische Werke: Bücher wie Pardon, ich bin Christ (Mere Christianity), Über den Schmerz (The Problem of Pain) und Dienstanweisungen an einen Unterteufel (The Screwtape Letters) machten ihn zu einem wichtigen christlichen Denker. 3. Glauben Lewis war in seiner Jugend Atheist, fand jedoch durch den Einfluss seines Freundes J. R. R. Tolkien (Autor von Der Herr der Ringe) zurück zum Christentum. Seine Bekehrung hatte einen großen Einfluss auf sein Schreiben, besonders auf seine apologetischen Werke, in denen er den christlichen Glauben verteidigte. 4. Freundschaft mit Tolkien Lewis war ein enger Freund von Tolkien, und beide waren Mitglieder der „Inklings“, einer Gruppe von Schriftstellern und Intellektuellen, die sich in Oxford trafen, um ihre Werke zu diskutieren. Tolkien schätzte Lewis' Werk, war aber skeptisch gegenüber der allegorischen Natur von Narnia. 5. Vermächtnis C. S. Lewis wird heute als einer der bedeutendsten christlichen Autoren und Denker des 20. Jahrhunderts angesehen. Seine Werke haben Millionen von Menschen inspiriert und wurden in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt. Viele seiner Bücher, insbesondere Die Chroniken von Narnia, wurden auch verfilmt. Hast du eine bestimmte Frage zu ihm oder seinen Werken?

On today's episode of Inklings we discuss the talk by Patrick Kearon: "Receive His Gift" from the 2025 April General Conference.
Have you ever thought about becoming a brand expert for C. S. Lewis or J. R. R. Tolkien? On the one hand, these seem like authors who need no introduction. On the other hand, how many people today really know the work of these towering 20th Century authors, beyond what made its way onto the silver screen? And what about one of the authors closely associated with them – Dorothy Sayers – who is far from well known in the general public but whose work is of similar creative and literary quality with her more famous friends and interlocutors?Maybe you haven't ever thought about launching a public relations campaign for one of these authors for the sake of a modern audience of young adults, but my guest today has. She is Christie Kleinmann, Professor of Public Relations at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. Professor Kleinmann is one of a dozen fellows in our second annual cohort of the Inklings Project, run out of the McGrath Institute for Church Life. Along with the other eleven fellows who come from colleges and universities across the United States and in four foreign countries, Professor Kleinmann developed and offered a new course this spring that draws the work of the Inklings into her own area of expertise: strategic public relations. The students in her course were divided into three semester-long groups, which each took as their “clients” one of these three Inklings: Lewis, Tolkien, and Sayers. Today, Professor Kleinmann joins me to talk about the project of her course, the relevance of the Inklings, and the creativity of her students.This is the first of a two-episode set. The second episode will feature three of Professor Kleinmann's students, one from each of the three Inklings groups. Follow-up Resources:Learn more about The Inklings Project.

One of my favorite reads of 2024 was The Myth Makers by John Hendrix.This gorgeous graphic novel tells the story of the remarkable friendship of C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. I thought I already knew quite a bit about these Inklings, but there was even more to uncover.Today, I'm delighted to share my conversation with the author and illustrator of The Myth Makers, John Hendrix. We dive into his research and writing process, exploring how the threads of the story came together. In this episode, Jon shares a better definition of myth, and illustrates the differences between a myth, a fairytale, and a story. I even make him choose which series he'd rather bring to a desert island, The Chronicles of Narnia or The Lord of the Rings. In this episode, you'll hear: John's creative process for creating graphic novels How choose-your-own adventure stories inspired the The Myth Makers Why John chose the Lion and the Wizard as his main characters Learn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/john-hendrix
This one's for the empaths trying to figure out the difference between healthy holding and fearful hoarding. Boundaries are sacred containers. They're how you honor your energy, your time, your intuition.But when fear creeps in — fear of being drained, judged, or misunderstood — we might go from protecting to withholding.That's when our healthy boundary morphs into an energetic wall.And here's the thing: walls don't just keep others out… They can block your blessings, too.This week, I invite you to check in with yourself:Are you saying “no” from empowerment or from fear?Is that boundary rooted in truth or old trauma?And are you willing to gently lower a wall… so something beautiful can come in?This is the perfect time to realign.

D. Emilio Domínguez Díaz, doctor en Humanidades y Filología Inglesa y autor de varios libros, nos acerca a la figura de Clive Staples Lewis, el conocido autor de las Crónicas de Narnia y Cartas del diablo a su sobrino. Nació en Belfast, Irlanda del Norte, en 1898, y fue bautizado en la Iglesia de Irlanda, de confesión protestante. Después de un periodo de lejanía del cristianismo, volvió a practicar su fe, influenciado por J. R. R. Tolkien y otros amigos católicos.
