S4 Finale - Apologetics, Enchantment, & Scripture in Narnia with Dr. Christin Ditchfield-Lazo

S4 Finale - Apologetics, Enchantment, & Scripture in Narnia with Dr. Christin Ditchfield-Lazo

We're thrilled to have Dr. Christin Ditchfield-Lazo join us as we reflect back on what we've learned from Lewis about communicating the Gospel in a disenchanted age. As always with our finale's we look at the intersection of our theme from the season with Scripture, asking questions like – how can we be like Lewis in sharing Scripture with the disenchanted world around us? Lewis did this so well, especially through Narnia.

As it turns out, Christin has written a wonderful book, A Family Guide to Narnia: Biblical Truths in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, which walks the reader through how Lewis is communicating Scripture to our disenchanted world through every chapter of Narnia.

ICYMI – On the Missionary District Podcast talking "Religion & Rocketry" and Non-Human Intelligence

ICYMI – On the Missionary District Podcast talking "Religion & Rocketry" and Non-Human Intelligence

Look... I didn't think anyone would ACTUALLY take me up on talking about "Religion & Rocketry" again. But here we are.


This time, I was invited on my good friend Amos Martel's apologetics podcast, Missionary District, to discuss the threat (if any) of Non-Human Intelligence to the Christian faith. While, of course, I use C. S. Lewis' masterful essay "Religion & Rocketry" (which, yes, I have memorized now), we also get into alot of new territory and I explain my most outlandish conspiracy theory yet... Octo-aliens. Think about it.

S4E10 Advent – "Talking About Bicycles" with Daniel Payne from the Lamp-Post Listener

S4E10 Advent – "Talking About Bicycles" with Daniel Payne from the Lamp-Post Listener

Exploring C. S. Lewis' 1945 essay "Talking About Bicycles" with Daniel Payne from the Lamp-Post Listener podcast. As he talks about bicycles, Lewis points out that there seem to be 4 stages to being enchanted by something wonderful. First, before we've been enchanted and know nothing of it - this, he calls "unenchantment." Second, when we first become enchanted by something wonderful - "enchantment". Third, when we become disillusioned by the thing. This is "disenchantment." Fourth, when we, fully accepting of the things limitations, become "re-enchanted" by how wonderful it really is. We discuss how this impacts how we can share the Gospel in a disenchanted age, as well as, how it helps us reflect on the Gospel during the Advent season.

S4E7 "Is Theism Important?"

S4E7 "Is Theism Important?"

In C. S. Lewis' 1951 speech, "Is Theism Important?" he helps Christians see the task of "winning souls to Christ" in two steps of faith. The first step of faith is belief that there is a God. The second step is the trust in that God, Jesus Christ. A trust that Lewis says is like "confidence in a friend." This is the utmost step, the one to which all our evangelism, apologetics, indeed, all our witnessing must lead towards. However, that is not to undermine the importance of the first step, convincing people there is a God, there is something Supernatural, something Transcendent. This is becoming increasingly difficult in our Disenchanted Age. Difficult, but not impossible, and Lewis helps us figure out how to do just that.

S4E6 "Before We Can Communicate" and "Pittenger-Lewis and Version Vernacular"

S4E6 "Before We Can Communicate" and "Pittenger-Lewis and Version Vernacular"

Exploring C. S. Lewis' 1961 article "Before We Can Communicate" where Lewis, the brilliant communicator, shares his thoughts on how he communicates so well. We find this advice applicable to anyone and everyone who wants to be able to communicate what they love with the people they love - or with strangers. But it is especially helpful for those who Lewis had in mind: people who want to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the world around them.

We end the episode by covering the brief excerpt published as "Pittenger-Lewis and Version Vernacular" which reiterates that famous advice that Lewis gives about the importance of communicating in "Vulgar English."

What categories would Lewis have included in "Modern Man and His Categories of Thought" if he was writing in 2024? We are joined by Dr. Paul Gould, philosopher, author, professor, and podcaster, who was just been writing on this very topic.

We highly recommend checking out Paul's podcast The Eudo Podcast, and his book Cultural Apologetics as companion pieces to this season of Lewis' essays. Find out more about Paul here, and find his excellent books here.

S4E5 "Modern Man and His Categories of Thought"

S4E5 "Modern Man and His Categories of Thought"

Exploring Lewis' 1945 article "Modern Man and His Categories of Thought" where Lewis explores 6 reasons he believes to be why Modern people no longer believe in the supernatural, sin, or divine judgement. We find ourselves agreeing (with at least 5) and think those reasons have continued producing increasingly negative effects in our own day. The essay helps us understand why people in our own day are hard to reach with the Gospel.

S4E4 "Revival or Decay?"

S4E4 "Revival or Decay?"

Exploring Lewis' 1958 article "Revival or Decay?" where he imagines a conversation with a headmaster who is celebrating how Religion seems to be having a bit of a revival. Lewis is not so sure whether to interpret things the same way. The signs of religious revival in culture that the headmaster sees might not be an entirely positive thing. We find these same supposed signs of revival in religion present in the early 2020's and think Lewis' invitation to remember what is more important is very relevant.

S4E3 "On the Transmission of Christianity" with Daniel from the Lamp-Post Listener

S4E3 "On the Transmission of Christianity" with Daniel from the Lamp-Post Listener

In C. S Lewis' "On the Transmission of Christianity" from 1946, he explains why he thinks Christianity appears on the decline in future generations. Spoiler alert: It's not because humans are outgrowing religion or becoming too enlightened to believe in such silly things. It's because the next generation is no longer being taught a compelling view of the faith in their education. We are joined by Daniel from The Lamp-Post Listener, himself a teacher in a classical Christian school, to discuss Lewis robust and challenging solution to the problem.

S4E2 "The Decline of Religion"

S4E2 "The Decline of Religion"

In the 1946 essay, "The Decline of Religion," C. S. Lewis counters those who claim that Christianity is in decline, but also cautions those who claim that Christianity is in a revival. We find that both of these claims are present in our culture today and what Lewis has to say to his own day carries over directly as a warning to ours.

S4E1 "God in the Dock"

S4E1 "God in the Dock"

We kick off Season 4 "Apologetics in a Disenchanted Age" with C. S. Lewis' famous essay "God in the Dock" from 1948. In it, he summarizes the difficulties in trying to communicate Christianity to modern people. Nearly 80 years later his observations have become even more true. People do not believe in anything beyond the natural world, they're skeptical about anything historical, they do not have any awareness of even the idea of sin, and there is a huge language barrier between educated language of the apologist and the everyday "vulgar" vernacular of his audience.

S3 Finale — Myth & Scripture with Dr. Louis Markos (Part 2)

In our final episode is Season 3, we bring what we’ve learned from Lewis “On Metaphor and Myth” and think about how this helps us become better readers of Scripture. Our guest, ⁠Dr. Louis Markos⁠, has literally written the book on this, many books, in fact, showing how Christians can look along Greek myths to discover the True Myth, Jesus Christ, and how learning to read myths gives us the right lenses to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest scripture better.

S3E26 "Meditation in a Toolshed" with Fr. Andrew Lazo (Part 2)

S3E26 "Meditation in a Toolshed" with Fr. Andrew Lazo (Part 2)

Exploring the iconic C. S. Lewis essay "Meditation in a Toolshed" from 1945, where Lewis considers two ways of knowing things: "looking at" and "looking along". We might say, contemplating and enjoying. He argues that both are valid and necessary and which one is best depends on the circumstances. However, he points out that "looking along" is far undervalued and often disregarded completely by Western culture.

S3 Bonus — Sarah Arthur & her book "Once a Queen"

Author Sarah Arthur joins us to chat about her new fantasy novel "Once a Queen," which is heavily influenced by C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, and others. Sarah shares with us the power of myth in her storytelling and is a perfect example of all that we have been learning this season "On Metaphor and Myth."

Jordan's brother Jared joins as co-host because of his expertise as English teacher (and totally not because their mom made him).

S3E24 Lent — "A Slip of the Tongue" (Part 2)

S3E24 Lent — "A Slip of the Tongue" (Part 2)

Exploring the second part of a 1956 sermon by C. S. Lewis, "A Slip of the Tongue," where Lewis realizes he accidentally prayed to hold onto temporal things. He reflects in the sermon that, even though it was a slip of the tongue, and meant to pray the opposite, the reality is he (and all of us with him) really do wish to hang onto the temporal things. He challenges us to consider - are there areas of our lives that we are keeping out of reach of God? Or are we truly giving God all of ourselves?

The music for this episode is "Collect for Lent," performed by David Stroeve, composed by Jordan Duncan and David Stroeve, from the Collect for the Second Sunday in Lent from the Episcopal Prayer Book. David Stroeve's album ⁠⁠⁠The Cathedral Project,⁠⁠⁠ is on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon, and Apple Music. See especially "The Jesus Prayer," and "God of Mercy" as excellent meditative worship songs for Lent.

To reflect on the Lenten themes of C. S. Lewis' 1943 essay "Three Kinds of Men," Sean and Jordan recruit the help of their students at Eston College. We keep coming back to the ways Lewis is simply expounding on St. Paul's letter to the Philippians.

Exploring the second part of the 1944 C. S. Lewis essay "Myth Became Fact" where Lewis defends Christianity against the de-mythologizing. He argues that the mythic nature of Christianity is essential and that what elevates it above all other myths is that this Myth actually became Fact. That is, it really happened. This was the idea that J. R. R. Tolkien argued with the non-Christian Lewis, which led to Lewis' conversion.

S3E16 Advent — Sept 22, 1931 Letter to Arthur Greeves

This letter, written Sept 22, 1931 by a young C. S. Lewis to his closest friend Arthur Greeves, is uniquley timed. It was written during the week in-between the influential conversation Lewis had on Addison's Walk with friends Tolkien and Dyson, and the day of Lewis' conversion to Christ (what has become known as "Sidecar Day"). Not surprisingly, during this week and in this letter to Arthur, Lewis had Sensucht on his mind.

We are back with Dr. Charlie W. Starr to talk about the theme of Sensucht in the short story "Light" and in the rest of Lewis' writings. It was Sensucht that alerted Lewis that there was more to this world than this world, and we find it the perfect theme to help us reflect through Advent.

Check out Charlie's book on the subject, called ⁠⁠"Light: C. S. Lewis' First and Final Short Story"⁠⁠.

In this part of our conversation with Dr. Charlie W. Starr, we discuss one possible interpretation of "Light" as it pertains to "epistemology" or "how we come to know things". If this is the case, the short story helps us see how imagination and experiential knowing (which Lewis also calls "Looking Along") is as valid as rational "Looking At" ways of knowing.

S3E13 Intro to “Light" AKA "The Man Born Blind" with Dr. Charlie W. Starr

**SPOILER ALERT** Because we are finally covering a short story by C. S. Lewis, we recommend to listen to this 11-minute short story first, becuase it has a twist ending we will spoil in the epiosde: Find it on YouTube here: "The Man Born Blind"

Or find where you can read it at pintswithjack.com/essays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Lewis wrote two slightly different versions of this story, one goes by the title "Light" and the other "The Man Born Blind", but they are very similar and only have small changes to them. Dr. Charlie W. Starr, our guest in the episode, studied Lewis' handwriting to determine when Lewis wrote each version of the story. In this episode, Charlie recaps the story itself, tells us about his journey of working on the manuscript, and explains how the story could be an analogy of sorts to make his point against Owen Barfield in their "Great War".

S3E12 "The Funeral of a Great Myth" with Dr. Bethany Sollereder (Part 2)

S3E12 "The Funeral of a Great Myth" with Dr. Bethany Sollereder (Part 2)

In this 1944 essay "The Funeral of a Great Myth" C. S. Lewis continues the thought he began in "Is Theology Poetry?" about how the scientific theory of evolution has been hijacked by scientism to become an all-encompasing cosmic theory about improvement or development or progress. In Lewis' perspective, it is time to put this "mythic" to death. Dr. Bethany Sollereder, lecturer in Science & Religion, joins us to discuss how this myth is still prevalent in our world today and the differences between it and the "True Myth" of the Gospel of Christ.

S3E11 "The Funeral of a Great Myth" with Dr. Bethany Sollereder (Part 1)

S3E11 "The Funeral of a Great Myth" with Dr. Bethany Sollereder (Part 1)

In this 1944 essay "The Funeral of a Great Myth" C. S. Lewis continues the thought he began in "Is Theology Poetry?" about how the scientific theory of evolution has been hijacked by scientism to become an all-encompasing cosmic theory about improvement or development or progress. In Lewis' perspective, it is time to put this "mythic" to death. Dr. Bethany Sollereder, lecturer in Science & Religion, joins us to discuss how Lewis was right on the money — and where parts of his argument do not hold up.

S3E1 What is Myth? with Dr. Charlie W. Starr

Myth was important to C. S. Lewis. He thought it should be important to everyone, especially Christians. Before we get to Lewis' essays "On Metaphor and Myth" this season, we check in with Dr. Charlie W. Starr, author of "The Faun's Bookshelf: C. S. Lewis on Why Myth Matters", to try and get an overview on what Myth is to Lewis. In short, Myth is a way of languaging, of communicating concrete realities to people so they can know them by experience through their imagination. Or, to quote Charlie, "Myth is perceived in the imagination, comes across in story, and is meant to point us to a higher reality through embodiment in story."
