A Church as Big as the Cosmos! In this episode, we enter into Lent with a reading from C.S. Lewis’ The Discarded Image. We discuss the medieval understanding of life, the universe, and everything— how it can help the churches today deepen their “vision” of how God orders the universe, the church, and the human being. We converse about the Grail legend, how God’s Word encounters and changes people, being lost in the Garden, how Christ ministers through others, and being annoyed by death. This and much, much more on this week’s episode of Banned Books.
