Pints with Jack: The C.S. Lewis Podcast

Many people know Lewis as a fiction writer and as an apologist, but fewer know him as a medievalist. Dr. Jason Baxter unpacks what that means and why it's important.

Occasionally one comes across a person who makes bold claims about "The Chronicles of Narnia", not only denying that it's the greatest children's fiction ever written, but also that it is filled with sexism and racism. Dr. Devin Brown returns to the show to respond to these accusations.

In this episode, Christin and the boys conclude their reading of The Horse and His Boy.

In today's episode we begin to read the Narnian Chronicle for this season, The Horse and His Boy. The boys are joined by Andrew's better half, Dr. Christin Ditchfield-Lazo.

This month Andrew and Matt have been discussing Sheldon Vanauken's book, "A Severe Mercy". In this episode, Andrew interviews Will Vaus, who wrote a biography about the author.

Matt and Andrew wrap up their discussion of "A Severe Mercy".

Andrew and Matt continue their discussion of "A Severe Mercy". In the previous episode, they spoke about the "Pagan love" between Van and Davy, and in this episode they examine how "Divine Love" enters into their relationship.

While David is taking the month off to write his book about "The Four Loves", Andrew and Matt discuss "A Severe Mercy" by Sheldon Vanauken. In this episode, they focus on the earlier part of the story and the "Pagan love" between Sheldon and his wife, Davy.

We wrap up "Apologetics Month" today by talking to former guest of the show, Dr. Holly Ordway. For most of this month we've focussed on specific apologetics arguments, but today we speak more broadly about the subject of "Imaginative Apologetics".

Although it didn't originate with him, one of the arguments which C.S. Lewis is best known for is his "Trilemma". Who is Jesus? A good teacher or something else? Apologist Jimmy Akin walks us through the various options.
