Literature (30)
  1. The Lutherans, the Lion, and the gifts of Narnia. In this episode, we talk with Pastor Sam Schuldheisz about his forthcoming book, Luther and the Lion: A Narnian Catechism. We discuss how Lewis (and other Inklings) can help us catechize children and adults, how stories lead us deeper into the biblical narratives, and vice versa. How can great myths and stories be employed in Christian apologetics when seen through Christian liturgy and sacraments? Now is the best time to reintroduce great Christian authors, great myths, and great stories, and the best of all stories — the gospel of Jesus Christ — can carry us out of our churches into a world that’s wounded and can’t find true healing that only Christ can give.
  2. This story points us from our unlikely heroes to the even more unlikely, and joyous, good news that Jesus’ birth for us was just as unlikely and unexpected.
  3. The doctrine of the Trinity is not so much the story of a “who-dunnit” as it is the story of the “who-is-it.”
  4. When Jesus ascends, he does so, bearing gifts for you.
  5. The grain of God’s goodness and grace is made known by many trees throughout the Bible.
  6. Dr. Montgomery taught me the Christian faith is both a true story and a delightful story—in fact, it is the greatest story ever told.
  7. The point of Revelation is to reveal consolation in Jesus, not to revel in chaos and confusion.
  8. In our catastrophes - whatever they may be, however large or small they are - we cry out for rescue, deliverance, and salvation.
  9. When Jesus appeared again to his disciples on that first Easter evening and again a week later with Thomas and the Emmaus disciples, what did Jesus show them? His hands.
  10. Jesus has gone ahead of you on the road, and promises to be with you still.
  11. Of all the Inklings, Williams was certainly the most enigmatic. His mind and body were always moving.
  12. Thanks to Barfield’s opposition, several important things happened to C.S. Lewis.
