C.S. Lewis for Everyone

The reception of C.S. Lewis has been a topic of conversation of late. The historian Mark Noll recently wrote a piece on the reception of Lewis in America for Ad Fontes. I also wrote a piece on Lewis, considering the importance of consideration of the context of the Church of England for understanding Lewis. Brad East, friend of the podcast, also wrote a blog post on Lewis, and whether he would have the same appeal among American evangelicals if he were writing today. Derek, Matt, and I discuss Lewis and his appeal in this episode.
