Today on the podcast I had the privilege of talking to Dr. Michael Peterson, Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Asbury Seminary. We talk about his recently released book C.S. Lewis and the Christian Worldview. We’ll link to this book in the show notes, so you can pick up a copy if you haven’t already.

His book engages Lewis philosophically and provides a comprehensive framework for Lewis’ worldview. We talk about things like the relationship between faith and science, the problem of evil, what we can learn from Lewis’ worldview and how we can appropriately apply it to our own lives.
