S1E13 – MC B3C1 – “The Three Parts of Morality”
Today in Mere Christianity, we begin Book III! This new book is entitled "Christian Behaviour". In this chapter, in addition to learning about the qualities of my ideal woman(!), we discover what C.S. Lewis regarded as "the three parts of morality".

S1E12 – MC B2C5 – “The Practical Conclusion”
A lively discussion of how divine life is passed to people through belief, baptism, and Holy Communion. They contrast spiritual new life with evolutionary progress and explore dying to the old self. The conversation covers authority in religious claims, whether salvation can be lost, and why God uses physical means like sacraments to communicate grace.
