Special thanks for joining us to our listeners in New York!
In this Episode

Dr. Lyle Dorsett joins me to discuss the life and legacy of C.S. Lewis, who died 50 years ago. Lewis, of course, is the author of the well-known books Mere Christianity and the Chronicles of Narnia novels.

Former curator of the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College, which houses a collection of C.S. Lewis' papers, Dr. Dorsett is author of Seeking the Secret Place: The Spiritual Formation of C. S. Lewis. He also edited The Essential C.S. Lewis and wrote the foreword for George Sayer's classic biography Jack: A Life of C.S. Lewis.
