We discuss Lewis' valid criticisms of biblical scholarship, as well as Dr. Baynes' valid criticisms of Lewis.

49 min - S5E11 - The KJV Isn't Vulgar Enough - "Modern Translations of the Bible" & Other Essays
C. S. Lewis once wrote a preface to a translation of the Bible, "Modern Translations of the Bible" (1947). Here Lewis explains a tenant of reformation theology about scripture, that there ought to be translations in the vernacular of the day so that all may "read, mark, learn and inwardly digest" what the Holy Spirit has inspired in scripture. This essay explores theology around Bible translation, inspiration, and interpretation.
We also dip into what Lewis wrote elsewhere about good translation and interpretation in the essays:
"A Lectionary of Christian Prose from the Second Century to the Twentieth Century",
"Odysseus sails again: The Odyssey", and
"The Literary Impact of the Authorized Version"
These can be found in "Image and Imagination," and "Selected Literary Essays"

1 hr 3 min - S5E10 - Is a Female Aslan Heresy? - "Priestesses in the Church"
We explore Lewis' 1948 article "Priestesses in the Church?", where C. S. Lewis explains why he thinks women should not be ordained as Priests. We found his answer quite surprising as it has less to do with what a woman is, or can do, and more to do with what a Priest is, and is meant to do. In a worldwide debate that is ongoing and often very volatile, we find Lewis' contribution to the discussion unique and thought-provoking.
We also touch on a part of Lewis' preface to his friend Austin Farrer's A Faith of Our Own (found in Image and Imagination, by C.S. Lewis).

1 hr 5 min - S5E9 - Why C. S. Lewis Would Hate Hillsong & Sing it Anyway - "On Church Music" & Other Essays
Exploring a 1949 article C. S. Lewis wrote, "On Church Music," in which he tackles the ongoing argument about musical style and quality in church and concludes that the best worship is when we dislike the style but sing anyway because our fellow brothers and sisters seem to be edified by it, for true worship is sacrifice. We include pieces from "Correspondence with an Anglican who Dislikes Hymns" (1946) and Lewis' review of The Oxford Book of Christian Verse (1940, published in Image and Imagination).

50 min - S5E8 - The Place of Mere Christianity in "Christian Reunion" & Other Essays
In this essay we explore three short pieces by C. S. Lewis which capture Lewis's heart to find, believe, live, and preach 'Mere Christianity'. The essay "Christian Reunion" is actually a piece he penned on the back of notes for his 1944 Mere Christianity broadcasts. We begin with an editorial letter, "The Holy Name" which Lewis wrote to a magazine in 1951, and another editorial back and forth Lewis was writing in 1949, published now as "The Church's Liturgy, Invocation, and Invocation of the Saints."

1 hr 1 min - S5E7 - Advent - What if Tonight was "The World's Last Night"?
Exploring Lewis's 1951 article on Christian Hope and it's meaning for today, where he asks the sobering questions, what if tonight was "The World's Last Night"? This essay on Christ's second coming provides us with some potent advent reflection, providing clear challenge to how we live, but also clear hope for those of us who are in Christ.
