episode CS Lewis: From Atheism to Aslan cover

Description

How does a committed atheist become one of Christianity’s greatest defenders? In this episode, we trace the life of C.S. Lewis—from childhood tragedy and the trenches of World War I to Oxford halls, the Inklings, and his reluctant conversion to faith in Christ. We explore how longing, imagination, and Lewis' friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien reshaped his worldview and fueled enduring works like Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Chronicles of Narnia. Finally, we reflect on why Aslan still points readers to the "deeper magic" of the Gospel. Reference(s): Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis C.S. Lewis - A Life: Eccentric Genius, Reluctant Prophet by Alister McGrath Planet Narnia by Michael Ward
