C.S. Lewis: How an atheist became the man behind Narnia | Alister McGrath

How would CS Lewis respond to Richard Dawkins' views about Jesus? Back in 2013, Unbelievable held a conference around apologetics and CS Lewis called 'Jesus: liar, lunatic, legend or Lord'. Here, Peter S Williams, a Christian philosopher and apologist, gave a seminar on the topic: 'If CS Lewis met Dawkins, how would he respond to the New Atheists?' This is the third part of his presentation and includes audience Q&A.

Peter S Williams: CS Lewis, Richard Dawkins and Jesus

Is it our fault when something bad happens? Can suffering ever be redeemed? In the final part of their discussion, Caleb Woodbridge and Damien Walter unpack Philp Pullman's critique of one of CS Lewis' most beloved Narnia stories. Along the way, they venture into the worlds of Star Trek and Lewis' Ransom Trilogy, asking whether science fiction can offer the hope and meaning we long for or whether we're still searching for a bigger story to live by. Plus, what did JRR Tolkien think of Dune?

Why does Philip Pullman hate The Magician's Nephew?

Why does C.S. Lewis still speak so powerfully to people decades after his death?
Tyler Staton, lead pastor of Bridgetown Church and author of After Amen, joins Ruth Jackson to explore what Lewis can still teach us about prayer, suffering, desire, imagination and finding God when he seems absent.
From Mere Christianity and The Weight of Glory to A Grief Observed, The Screwtape Letters and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Tyler reflects on the Lewis ideas that have shaped his own faith and helped him through cancer.
They discuss:
• Why imagination matters for faith
• What apologetics can learn from Lewis’s storytelling
• Whether our deepest desires point to God
• How to notice God in ordinary life
• What to do when prayer feels unanswered
• Why honest doubt can itself become prayer
• Where to start if you are new to C.S. Lewis
Tyler’s advice when God feels absent is striking: “We pray our doubt.”

Has God slammed a door in your face? Tyler Staton on suffering

Can becoming an atheist ever be a step towards God? What if walking away from religion is sometimes more honest than pretending to believe? Are reason and evidence really enough to explain why we change our minds?

In Early Prose Joy, Lewis wrote: "It is time, for religion’s sake, to hymn the joys of atheism.” For him, rejecting shallow, superstitious or half-hearted religion could sometimes be an intellectually honest step towards discovering something deeper. But, what eventually changed Lewis’ mind?

C.S. Lewis scholar and Episcopal priest Andrew Lazo joins Ruth Jackson to explore how reason, imagination, longing and experience came together in Lewis’ journey from atheism to Christianity and why changing his beliefs ultimately changed the way he lived.

Plus, what might Lewis make of today’s spiritually curious generation? Could our hunger for beauty, nature, relationships, music and meaning be clues pointing towards something more?
