Beloved novelist Clive Staples Lewis (Jack to his friends)(?) went through an atheist phase in his life. But that didn't last, and when he came back to Christianity, he came back HARD! Everyone who knows his work beyond life in a wardrobe is well aware of his obsession with the Bible and Christianity.
But though he was an academic, Lewis was careful to remind people he was not a Bible scholar. He relied on the scholarship of others when he wanted to explore biblical topics. Yet he wrote extensively. So how'd he do? Were his conclusions and explorations undergirded by good data, or was he just flying by the seat of his theological pants?
This week, we brought on Leslie Baynes, author of Between Interpretation and Imagination: C. S. Lewis and the Bible to help us get a handle on Lewis and his particular brand of apologetics. She'll guide us through his view of the Bible, his explorations of Christianity, and the places he snuck it all in, even when he wasn't explicitly writing about it.

Professor Dr. Derek McCallister comes to "destroy" me. Gets cooked instead. (DZ Debates -- YouTube)
Our "friend" @DrDerekMcAllister (Catholic philosopher) comes by to give his favorite argument for the existence of god. It's a rendition of the cosmological argument. W for being polite. L for using and old worn out argument that amounts to nothing better than a god-of-the-gaps. Extra W for making repeated videos insulting me when I'm not in the room and crying after getting cooked.
