The Current Thing

Today, a treat for fans of my C.S. Lewis content, especially if they are also fans of Simon Evans. For what follows is a discussion on C.S. Lewis’s Ransom Trilogy with me and Simon.

We discuss which of the trilogy is Simon’s favourite, why That Hideous Strength has proved so prophetic, Lewis’s relationship with Tolkien, and lots more.

On this week’s episode of The Current Thing I am joined by author Joseph Loconte to talk about his new book, The War for Middle-earth, which focuses on how J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were shaped by the two great wars of the 20th century.

We discuss:
-How Lewis and Tolkien preserved their belief in heroism and honour even after suffering through war
-How the West became disillusioned from the 1930s onwards
-What Lewis would have made of the current political predicament in Western nations
-Tolkien’s support of Franco in the Spanish Civil War
-How to reclaim our ‘civilisational confidence’
-Whether Lewis would have eventually converted to Catholicism, as some claim
-How Lewis’s work compares to Tolkien’s in significance and quality
-The lost art of male friendship
-Why Joseph converted from Catholic to Protestant
And lots more!
