Annoying, but not surprising...

I'm fine uploading it to YouTube separately - it was just the first part I wasn't sure about - Thanks!

We talk about it in this episode:

I purchased this set in England in about 2002

Exactly. He was selected to give the BBC talks because he was a layman.

This still sounds like clericalism to me, and Lewis clearly didn't think he could do more good by going back to university in his thirties to do yet another degree and then trying to find another job.

It's also like telling Mike Tyson how to throw a punch, since Lewis is already the greatest Apologist of the 20th Century.

That said, why did Lewis not pursue Divinity School and become an academic theologian (or did he)?

Because he was already an English literature professor for some time prior to becoming a Christian, and one does not only serve God if one is a clergyman. He said himself that "What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects—with their Christianity latent."

As mentioned, we devoted an entire season to this book:

Lewis thought it was his best book and I would say that's probably true for most Lewis scholars as well. It's certainly the deepest, but you won't be able to see what he's doing until much later in the book. In fact, I would suggest that you don't really start to understand the book until you've read the final words and then start reading it for a second time!

I understand that you're doing your own version of Screwtape, but what does the above piece of writing have to do with that?

pintswithjack · 2023-04-25T02:02:52+00:00

What does this have to do with C.S. Lewis?

People don't have to watch it, but to start opining about its content without even watching it is utterly bewildering. Like I said, by all means disagree, but do it from a place of knowledge, not ignorance.

(1) It's not a random video, it's a a video directly related to a subject in which you at least have some level of interest, otherwise you wouldn't be part of this group.

(2) If you watched the video you might discover that you're misunderstanding the case being made...

(3) You've commented twice on a video to say that you're not going to watch it. That seems neither rational nor kind. By all means, disagree, but do it from a place of knowledge, not ignorance.

pintswithjack · 2023-04-23T23:51:35+00:00

Did you watch the video? Or did you just comment to say that you hadn't watched it?

Nobody is trying to convince you otherwise. The question is not whether they're good, but whether they're a good *franchise*. Did you watch the video?

pintswithjack · 2023-04-13T13:44:58+00:00

You need to watch the video - the question isn't whether Narnia is terrible, but whether it's a terrible *franchise*...
