S5E11 - The KJV Isn't Vulgar Enough - "Modern Translations of the Bible" & Other Essays 04.03.2026 1ชม. 2นาทีC. S. Lewis once wrote a preface to a translation of the Bible, "Modern Translations of the Bible" (1947). Here Lewis explains a tenant of reformation theology about scripture, that there ought to be translations in the vernacular of the day so that all may "read, mark, learn and inwardly digest" what the Holy Spirit has inspired in scripture. This essay explores theology around Bible translation, inspiration, and interpretation. We also dip into what Lewis wrote elsewhere about good translation and interpretation in the essays:"A Lectionary of Christian Prose from the Second Century to the Twentieth Century", "Odysseus sails again: The Odyssey", and"The Literary Impact of the Authorized Version"These can be found in "Image and Imagination," and "Selected Literary Essays"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.

S5E10 - Is a Female Aslan Heresy? - "Priestesses in the Church" 18.02.2026 1ชม. 4นาทีWe explore Lewis' 1948 article "Priestesses in the Church?", where C. S. Lewis explains why he thinks women should not be ordained as Priests. We found his answer quite surprising as it has less to do with what a woman is, or can do, and more to do with what a Priest is, and is meant to do. In a worldwide debate that is ongoing and often very volatile, we find Lewis' contribution to the discussion unique and thought-provoking. We also touch on a part of Lewis' preface to his friend Austin Farrer's A Faith of Our Own (found in Image and Imagination, by C.S. Lewis).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.

S5E9 - Why C. S. Lewis Would Hate Hillsong & Sing it Anyway - "On Church Music" & Other Essays 21.01.2026 49นาทีExploring a 1949 article C. S. Lewis wrote, "On Church Music," in which he tackles the ongoing argument about musical style and quality in church and concludes that the best worship is when we dislike the style but sing anyway because our fellow brothers and sisters seem to be edified by it, for true worship is sacrifice. We include pieces from "Correspondence with an Anglican who Dislikes Hymns" (1946) and Lewis' review of The Oxford Book of Christian Verse (1940, published in Image and Imagination).

S5E8 - The Place of Mere Christianity in "Christian Reunion" & Other Essays 01.01.2026 1ชม.In this essay we explore three short pieces by C. S. Lewis which capture Lewis's heart to find, believe, live, and preach 'Mere Christianity'. The essay "Christian Reunion" is actually a piece he penned on the back of notes for his 1944 Mere Christianity broadcasts. We begin with an editorial letter, "The Holy Name" which Lewis wrote to a magazine in 1951, and another editorial back and forth Lewis was writing in 1949, published now as "The Church's Liturgy, Invocation, and Invocation of the Saints."

S5E2 - Why You Should Listen to Fewer Podcasts - "On the Reading of Old Books" 01.10.2025 48นาทีExploring 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.

S5E1 - Is Jesus a Legend, Lunatic, or Lord? - "What Are We to Make of Jesus Christ?" 17.09.2025 59นาทีExploring 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."

S4 Finale - Apologetics, Enchantment, & Scripture in Narnia with Dr. Christin Ditchfield-Lazo 23.04.2025 54นาทีWe'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.

ICYMI – On the Missionary District Podcast talking "Religion & Rocketry" and Non-Human Intelligence 15.01.2025 57นาทีLook... 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.

S4E10 Advent – "Talking About Bicycles" with Daniel Payne from the Lamp-Post Listener 18.12.2024 1ชม. 16นาทีExploring C. S. Lewis' 1945 essay "Talking About Bicycles" with Daniel Payne from the Lamp-Post Listener podcast. As he talks about bicycles, Lewis points out that there seem to be 4 stages to being enchanted by something wonderful. First, before we've been enchanted and know nothing of it - this, he calls "unenchantment." Second, when we first become enchanted by something wonderful - "enchantment". Third, when we become disillusioned by the thing. This is "disenchantment." Fourth, when we, fully accepting of the things limitations, become "re-enchanted" by how wonderful it really is. We discuss how this impacts how we can share the Gospel in a disenchanted age, as well as, how it helps us reflect on the Gospel during the Advent season. The music this episode is "Deliverer / O Come O Come Emmanuel" by Camille Parkman, and can be found on Spotify and other music platforms for purchase or streaming. Find out where to read C. S.
