Ruth Jackson is joined by Alister McGrath for a special live edition of The C.S. Lewis Podcast, recorded in front of an audience at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, in association with the New Renaissance Project. In this lively Q&A, Ruth and Alister open the floor to audience questions on the life, thought and legacy of C.S. Lewis. They explore Lewis’s impact beyond the West, whether meaning found in other religions points to truth, what Lewis may have got wrong, and why his ideas still matter today. The conversation also touches on Tolkien’s influence, the power of story, Lewis’s scepticism about technology, the lasting effects of war, favourite books, and the challenge of adapting Narnia for film. A fascinating live conversation for Lewis fans old and new.
