Exploring C. S. Lewis' 1944 Preface to St. Athanasius' On the Incarnation, "On the Reading of Old Books." Here, Lewis explains why it's not only good advice for people to be well-read, but specifically to be well-read in old books as well as new ones. Lewis then extends the argument to Christians especially, pleading with them to not only become familiar with, but to become immersed in orthodox Christian teaching through the reading of old books.Find more Lesser-Known Lewis — Online: pintswithjack.com/lesser-known-lewisPatreon: patreon.com/lesserknownlewisInstagram: @lesserknownlewisFacebook: Lesser-Known Lewis PodcastEmail: lesserknownlewis@gmail.comGraphic Design by Angus Crawford.Intro Music - Written by Jess Syratt, arranged & produced by Angus Crawford and Jordan Duncan.
Exploring C. S. Lewis' "What Are We to Make for Jesus Christ?" - a chapter he wrote in 1950 in a book for young people (Asking Them Questions). Here Lewis expands his famous argument from Mere Christianity, evaluating the historical Jesus and arguing that he could not have been either a Liar or a Lunatic, and, therefore, must be who he said he was: Lord. In this chapter, Lewis explores whether Jesus could have simply been a legend that grew among his followers. His answer, again, is "No, therefore, Jesus must be Lord."

We're thrilled to have Dr. Christin Ditchfield-Lazo join us as we reflect back on what we've learned from Lewis about communicating the Gospel in a disenchanted age. As always with our finale's we look at the intersection of our theme from the season with Scripture, asking questions like – how can we be like Lewis in sharing Scripture with the disenchanted world around us? Lewis did this so well, especially through Narnia. As it turns out, Christin has written a wonderful book, A Family Guide to Narnia: Biblical Truths in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, which walks the reader through how Lewis is communicating Scripture to our disenchanted world through every chapter of Narnia.

Look... I didn't think anyone would ACTUALLY take me up on talking about "Religion & Rocketry" again. But here we are. This time, I was invited on my good friend Amos Martel's apologetics podcast, Missionary District, to discuss the threat (if any) of Non-Human Intelligence to the Christian faith. While, of course, I use C. S. Lewis' masterful essay "Religion & Rocketry" (which, yes, I have memorized now), we also get into alot of new territory and I explain my most outlandish conspiracy theory yet... Octo-aliens.

Exploring C. S. Lewis' speech "Christian Apologetics" which he gave to youth leaders & clergy in 1945. Lewis gives us all a 'behind the scenes' look at what he is doing with his method and approach to the Christian Apologetics he is so well known for. We discuss with Ruth Jackson host of Premier Unbelievable's podcasts "The C. S. Lewis Podcast with Alister McGrath" and "Unbelievable." Premier Unbelievable's Tik Tok, Instagram, YouTube, and their Christmas Apologetics Course. Ruth's band The Daisy Chains The Lewis essays Jordan said were follow-ups to topics in "Christian Apologetics" are: "Historicism," "Is History Bunk?" "The Funeral of the Great Myth," "On the Reading of Old Books," "Fern Seed and Elephants," "Miserable Offenders," "The Trouble with 'X'," "On Forgiveness," "Before We Can Communicate," "Religion and Rocketry," "Miracles," "The Grand Miracle," "Horrid Red Things," "Laws of Nature."

In this 1955 speech, "On Obstinacy in Belief" C. S. Lewis picks up his train of thought from "Is Theism Important?" to talk about why and how Christians can persist in their faith despite occasional trials and reasons that cause doubt.

In C. S. Lewis' 1951 speech, "Is Theism Important?" he helps Christians see the task of "winning souls to Christ" in two steps of faith. The first step of faith is belief that there is a God. The second step is the trust in that God, Jesus Christ. A trust that Lewis says is like "confidence in a friend." This is the utmost step, the one to which all our evangelism, apologetics, indeed, all our witnessing must lead towards. However, that is not to undermine the importance of the first step, convincing people there is a God, there is something Supernatural, something Transcendent. This is becoming increasingly difficult in our Disenchanted Age. Difficult, but not impossible, and Lewis helps us figure out how to do just that.

Jordan sits down with Dr. Steven Beebe, retired professor, author, speaker, and all-around expert on communication, to hear what Dr. Beebe learned about communication from C. S. Lewis. As it turns out, he learned quite a lot. So much, in fact, that he has even written a book on C. S. Lewis and the Craft of Communication.

Exploring C. S. Lewis' 1961 article "Before We Can Communicate" where Lewis, the brilliant communicator, shares his thoughts on how he communicates so well. We find this advice applicable to anyone and everyone who wants to be able to communicate what they love with the people they love - or with strangers. But it is especially helpful for those who Lewis had in mind: people who want to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the world around them.

Exploring Lewis' 1945 article "Modern Man and His Categories of Thought" where Lewis explores 6 reasons he believes to be why Modern people no longer believe in the supernatural, sin, or divine judgement. We find ourselves agreeing (with at least 5) and think those reasons have continued producing increasingly negative effects in our own day. The essay helps us understand why people in our own day are hard to reach with the Gospel.

Exploring Lewis' 1958 article "Revival or Decay?" where he imagines a conversation with a headmaster who is celebrating how Religion seems to be having a bit of a revival. Lewis is not so sure whether to interpret things the same way. The signs of religious revival in culture that the headmaster sees might not be an entirely positive thing. We find these same supposed signs of revival in religion present in the early 2020's and think Lewis' invitation to remember what is more important is very relevant.

In the 1946 essay, "The Decline of Religion," C. S. Lewis counters those who claim that Christianity is in decline, but also cautions those who claim that Christianity is in a revival. We find that both of these claims are present in our culture today and what Lewis has to say to his own day carries over directly as a warning to ours.

We kick off Season 4 "Apologetics in a Disenchanted Age" with C. S. Lewis' famous essay "God in the Dock" from 1948. In it, he summarizes the difficulties in trying to communicate Christianity to modern people. Nearly 80 years later his observations have become even more true. People do not believe in anything beyond the natural world, they're skeptical about anything historical, they do not have any awareness of even the idea of sin, and there is a huge language barrier between educated language of the apologist and the everyday "vulgar" vernacular of his audience.

Exploring the second part of a 1956 sermon by C. S. Lewis, "A Slip of the Tongue," where Lewis realizes he accidentally prayed to hold onto temporal things. He reflects in the sermon that, even though it was a slip of the tongue, and meant to pray the opposite, the reality is he (and all of us with him) really do wish to hang onto the temporal things. He challenges us to consider - are there areas of our lives that we are keeping out of reach of God? Or are we truly giving God all of ourselves?

As a kind of epilogue to Out of the Silent Planet, Chris talks with Jordan Duncan from Lesser-Known Lewis about C.S. Lewis' 1958 essay, "Religion and Rocketry," also published as "Will We Lose God in Outer Space?" You can find it collected in The World's Last Night and Other Essays. This is a wide-ranging conversation (we get a lot of mileage out of a comparatively short essay), and we cover everything from the question of aliens, to government conspiracies, to apologetics, to Richard Dawkins, Elon Musk, James Cameron (and of course, Sir Fred B. Hoyle), to Lewis' idea of animals and humans "becoming" something higher and what that has to do with rational souls, to (oddly enough) the Monkey King from The Journey to the West, as well as The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Story of Your Life (Arrival). Come for the self-indulgent semi-conspiratorial ramblings, and stay for Chris actually disagreeing with C.S. Lewis about something, as well as for the following hypothetical questions, as posed by Lewis and by us: If aliens existed would this invalidate the Christian faith? If aliens existed would this actually prove the existence of God? If aliens existed, should Western democracies opt out of the new space race that would result? Should we avoid colonizing other planets (for instance, Mars), even if they are uninhabited? Is adventure bad (the result of the Fall) or is it how God designed us? And isn't making contact with aliens another adventure? Speaking of good intentions potentially having disastrous consequences: Is C.S. Lewis indirectly responsible for James Cameron's Avatar?

Also, I highly recommend Jordan's podcast, Lesser-Known Lewis. This will be the first of a few collaborations. Next time, I'll be talking with Sørina Higgins about her book of short stories, Shall These Bones Breathe?
We should be back on Thursday to bring you an interview with Michael Drout. But until then, enjoy Tolkien's "Mythopoeia," read by Anika Smith in Season One!

Here's the old description for "Mythopoeia": This week, we have J.R.R. Tolkien's "Mythopoeia," read by Anika Smith! You can find the text of the poem online if you want to read along, or you can buy this lovely book. Music in the background is Lohengrin, by Richard Wagner. Next week, we'll be back to discuss Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories," in which a part of "Mythopoeia" is quoted. If you're enjoying these podcasts, please share with a friend or drop us a line to tell us so (InklingsVarietyHour@gmail.com). Constructive feedback and suggestions for future episodes are welcome. We'd also very much appreciate reviews in iTunes, if you can spare the time.

Exploring C. S. Lewis' 1940 essay "Dangers of National Repentance," where Lewis challenges the young people of his day on their impulse to repent of the acts of past generations. He thinks we ought to be careful when repenting of collective guilt because in order to do this you risk a few dangers. Dangers Jesus confronted when he challenged us to look at the log in our own eye. Dr. Ney helps us reflect on Lewis' challenge and how it might apply to “woke” culture, cancel culture, and thinking through how we should think and feel about the past - especially when there is obvious wrongdoing by people we are connected to.

Exploring the second part of C. S. Lewis' 1947 essay "On Forgiveness." Here Lewis turns our attention to how we can accept forgiveness from God and how we can (and ought to) forgive others when they sin against us. As we wrestle with how this challenges and encourages us in our own lives, William provides some good perspective and advice from his experience in the world of counseling on how to go about the process of forgiveness. Since, as Lewis says, "to be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you."

Exploring C. S. Lewis' 1947 essay "On Forgiveness." You'll never guess what it's about ;) In this first part, Lewis leads us to reflect on how we approach God when we ask for forgiveness. He helps us see the important difference between forgiving and excusing and after reminding us that confession and repentance are important regular activities of the Christian life, he challenges us to consider whether our confession and repentance with God is true repentance asking for true forgiveness, or whether we are merely approaching God with excuses, and leave never truly having asked for forgiveness.

Exploring the second part of the 1948 article by C. S. Lewis, "The Trouble with 'X'" where Lewis explores the all too relatable problem of what to do when we encounter people whose "fatal flaw" shipwreck all our best plans. Here he turns the whole complaint on its head and with a few parables Lewis helps us see that God sees one more person with fatal flaws that we don't see, the only person we are able to change, the only person we are responsible to change — ourselves. Lewis helps us take seriously "the log in our own eye," that we may be blind to things in us that, if left unchecked, may lead to hell, and consider what we ought to do about it. There's no time like the present to put ourselves into God's hands and allow him to do his gracious work of salvation. Our guest on for this essay is Rev. Dr. Joel Scandrett.

Exploring the 1948 article by C. S. Lewis, "The Trouble with 'X'" where he tells explores the all too relatable problem of what to do when we encounter people whose "fatal flaw" shipwreck all our best plans. The first thing to do, is realize that we now know a little of how God feels, for God sees all his plans spoiled too, by all these same people with their fatal flaws. Only, he sees even more fatal flaws than we could ever see. How frustrating it is that God, in his wisdom, has "made it a rule for himself that he won't alter people's character by force." Nevertheless, this means that we have to come to grips with the fact that no matter how well the rest of our lives go — even if we won the lottery — we would still have to face the hurdles of all the people around us, shipwrecking our plans. How will we deal with that? How does God deal with it? Lent is a good time to think about such things, and face such issues head-on. Our guest for this essay is Rev. Dr. Joel Scandrett.

Exploring the second part of C. S. Lewis' 1946 sermon, "Miserable Offenders," where he defends the language of the Anglican prayer book, referring to ourselves as "miserable offenders," because those fatal flaws we see so clearly other people are present also in us. Lewis gives us some great pastoral wisdom for dealing with getting these logs out of our own eyes. Lent is precisely the time for such a task. You can read "Miserable Offenders" here.

Exploring C. S. Lewis' 1946 sermon, "Miserable Offenders," where he defends the language of the Anglican prayer book, referring to ourselves as "miserable offenders," asking for God to give us "contrite hearts," and confessing that the burden of our sins is "intolerable." Lewis is adamant that this has nothing to do with how we feel, but is a statement of fact and one we, as Christians, must come to grips with if we are to be honest and to be saints. His message is challenging but leads us straight into the loving arms of Jesus during the season of Lent. You can read "Miserable Offenders" here.

Exploring a few short scraps written by C. S. Lewis in 1945, in a piece now appropriately titled “Scraps," while reflecting on their connection to Christmas and the good news of the Incarnation. In "Scraps," Lewis shares four different, interesting, short, and to-the-point thoughts that illustrate some of the reasons we celebrate that God has become Man in the birth of Jesus; that God affirms the goodness of both the physical and spiritual realms and longs to reunite them; that he affirms the goodness of humanity; and that humans were created to be, in the words of Screwtape, "amphibians...half spirit and half animal." We found lots to reflect on for Christmas in what is possibly Lewis' shortest work. We also find ourselves returning back to Lewis' essays on prayers briefly, rethinking Lewis' "Problem of Prayer" between the A Pattern and B Pattern prayers and wondering what Jesus knew when he prayed "Thy will be done" in the Garden of Gethsemane. The podcast episode Jordan referred to can be found at this link to their show called "Word and Table" .

Reflecting on the final part of C. S. Lewis' most famous sermon "The Weight of Glory," from 1941. Sean and Jordan, together with their first guest and long-time friend Rev. Dr. Dean Pinter, reflect on the ways Lewis' legendary sermon helps us learn to "wait for the weight of glory" during the season of Advent. In this episode, we consider why it is good news that we are burdened with God's glory, and draw from Lewis' life-changing practical ethic of loving your neighbour as the "holiest object" you have seen, because, as he wrote, "There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal." To purchase Dean Pinter's books, look for "Acts" in Zondervan's Story of God Commentary series.

Reflecting on the third part of C. S. Lewis' most famous sermon "The Weight of Glory," from 1941. Sean and Jordan, together with their first guest and long-time friend Dr. Dean Pinter, reflect on the ways Lewis' legendary sermon helps us learn to "wait for the weight of glory" during the season of Advent. In this episode, we look at the section where Lewis explores the variety of images scripture uses of Heaven, and why we need variety in the images that draw us on and keep us desiring for that future glory where we will be with Jesus.

It's Friday, and you know what that means… or maybe you don't! It's time for another episode of You Know What That Means, the AEW Podcast! Unfortunately, like a certain Lord of the Blackpool Combat Club, Jordan Duncan had to step away from his co-hosting duties for “family time” (which, based on rampant speculation, could be that he got paid more money to reboot Rank and File), but for the third time this year, Steve Wille (COVID-free and Scott-free!) fills in to talk to Andrew Riche about all things All Elite Wrestling! Is it possible that William Regal having the OPTION to get a better gig by bouncing back and forth between AEW and WWE is actually a good sign for professional wrestlers? Why is the biggest ROH fan ever not excited AT ALL about Final Battle this Saturday, and could it be an afternoon delight or a total afterthought? Then the two talk about Winter Is Coming and the soon-to-be-legendary MJF/Ricky Starks promo on Dynamite before they dive in on the main topic: The AEW Pay-Per-View/Special Event Eliminator (That's a mouthful!) We determine the greatest ever, the worst ever (ROH is mentioned again), and take some trips down Elite memory lane before we finish off with some random questions! So sit down, grab your commemorative Heisman Trophy, and get ready for some laughs, insights, and TOTAL ELIMINATIONS on the THIRTY-THIRD episode of You Know What That Means on the North-South Connection podcast feed!
