Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 905 ratings
  • I find this podcast to be interesting and entertaining. I often use it as a primer for works we are reading in my local C.S. Lewis Society. I have also found several non-Lewis works to tackle by listening. The hosts are very knowledgeable themselves, but also have guests that are among the most respected Lewis scholars available. Each of the 3 hosts approaches the episode from their own unique background and experience. This one is on my automatic download list.

  • Love these guys!

    My mom showed me this podcast for school as we are reading through Mere Christianity, and it is my favorite part of my week after reading the chapter. I love this podcast and it is making me want to read more Books by Jack!

  • Virtual CS Lewis Book Club

    The format of a chapter by chapter discussion of the books of CS Lewis is wonderful. I appreciate the insights of the three contributors. Each one adds his own perspective from a different background and temperament. I gave this rating 4 stars instead of 5 because I would like to have a way to “filter out” the distracting put-downs directed against Matt (who is delightful as a first-time reader of many of the books covered) from the other two hosts, especially from Andrew.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S9E23: "Charles Williams Month - The Third Inkling", After Hours with Grevil Lindop
Q: What were the challenges and rewards of researching and writing The Third Inkling?
The project required gathering interviews and a vast archive, navigating resistance from Williams's family, and coordinating access to major libraries like the Bodleian and The Wade Center, but it yielded a nuanced portrait that situates Williams within the Inklings and reveals the breadth of his work.
S9E23: "Charles Williams Month - The Third Inkling", After Hours with Grevil Lindop
Q: How did Williams's esoteric interests intersect with his orthodox Christianity, and how does that affect how we read him?
His esotericism, including study of the Kabbalah and Rosicrucian influences, co-inherence and substitution as theological ideas, and an interest in ritual and mysticism, are integral to understanding his fiction and theology, but they also sparked controversy and debate about orthodoxy, making his reading a balance between spiritual depth and critical caution.
S9E23: "Charles Williams Month - The Third Inkling", After Hours with Grevil Lindop
Q: Could you just give us a whistle stop tour of the life of Charles Williams?
Williams emerged from a poor North London background, educated himself through evening classes, rose from a lowly proofreader at Oxford University Press to a senior editor, and developed into a writer whose work spans novels, poetry, and theology, all while engaging with occult and esoteric traditions that informed his Christian thought.
S9E22: Abolition – Retrospective, After Hours with Dr. Michael Ward
Q: What connections exist between Abolition and The Hideous Strength, and how do these relate to Lewis's apologetics?
Ward outlines seven connections, including depictions of men without chests, the deadened perception of literature, and the theme of power and virtue, showing how both works articulate a consistent framework toward objective value and ethical life.
S9E22: Abolition – Retrospective, After Hours with Dr. Michael Ward
Q: How does practical reason differ from theoretical reason in Lewis's framework, and how does this relate to everyday choices?
Practical reason involves emotions and moral deliberation, balancing head (reason) and belly (passions) so that one can make choices that are wise and aligned with objective value, not merely logical deduction or impulsive desire.
