C.S. Lewis for Everyone
Alastair, Derek, and Matt discuss the strange phenomenon of C. S. Lewis and his admirers from all theological quarters.
C.S. Lewis is an odd figure. Beloved, cited, and recruited by both progressive and conservative Christians, his works have a very broad appeal. The very fact of this broad appeal raises questions about his legacy. Alastair, Derek, and Matt examine this phenomenon and how Lewis is read both in fundamentalist America and evangelical Britain.
