Lewis & Women #2 – The “Factual” Women

William OFlaherty All About Jack

This is the second of four shows that explores how C.S. Lewis viewed women. Some think he either hated females, or at least feared them. Even those who know this isn’t true have a hard time explaining why. Dr. Crystal Hurd, who has done a series of blog posts on the topic, is William O’Flaherty’s special guest to explore this topic. Gina Dalfonzo, the editor of Breakpoint.org joins in as guest co-host. This second podcast examines women that Lewis either knew or wrote to during his life (“factual” as opposed to the fictional females he created in his books).

William OFlaherty CSL Minute

Why has Lewis’s legacy endured? There has been a lot of books written to help answer this very question and some were even just released this year.
While these are great resources, what do you do if you were wanting to introduce a friend to the life and writings of Lewis and they don’t have a lot of time to hear you out? Thanks to the Internet this isn’t a problem, as there are various websites that tell about Lewis. However, if you want something that will take less than 30 minutes then read on about a great video that is online.

RETROSPECTIVE: November 1st -10th

William OFlaherty Jack in Retrospect

The following is part of a series reflecting on the life of C.S. Lewis. This is accomplished by summarizing various events or happenings during his lifetime for the noted period and may include significant events related to him after his death.

Highlights for the first third of November (1st – 10th) include: A two-part broadcast talk on “Faith,” a posthumous book on Spenser and the start of bus ride to an unknown destination.

Mere Christianity, as many people know, is a collection of three smaller books that were published in the early 1940’s. Before that they were individual broadcasts on the BBC.

However, as I was reading over the two radio talks for this period I got to thinking that if out of all of the material he shared

Highlights for September 2nd-11th include: Two Narnia books published, a final fictional work, being on the cover of Time in the U.S. and his only title devoted to a book of the Bible.

The number of books published over the years during these ten days would be enough for most authors for an entire lifetime. Although, two of the titles are collections of shorter works were released after his death, interestingly the five others were during the last eleven years of his life.
