David, Author at Pints With Jack

S2E29 – AH – Dr. David Clark

Probably the most useful book I read during Season 2 of Pints With Jack was C.S. Lewis Goes To Heaven by David Clark. In today’s episode I interviewed Dr. Clark to discuss his book and wrap up our discussion of The Great Divorce.

08:34 – Did the book take long to write?

09:14 – What’s the main point of Lewis’ book?

S2E28 – Bonus – “You don’t know Jack!”

This episode is quite different from our usual Pints With Jack episodes. Rather than interviewing a scholar or discussing a chapter of Lewis’ work with Matt, I’m going to be reading an article I wrote which gives a rough outline of Lewis’ life.

S2E27 – AH – Dale Ahlquist

t has been my desire for a while to introduce the listeners to other members of the Inklings, as well as authors who greatly influenced Lewis. Today we look at G.K. Chesterton and our special guest who will be introducing us to this great man is renowned Chesterton scholar and champion, Dale Ahlquist.

S2E26 – PC – “Caspian Continued…”

In the previous episode we began discussing the second book in “The Chronicles of Narnia”, which is called “Prince Caspian”. In this episode, we finish our discussion.

Wounds and borrowed books

You might remember several years ago I wrote an article asking whether or not there would be Wounds in Heaven? Well, this past week I came across […]

S2E25 – PC – “Prince Caspian”

Each Season we discuss briefly one of the Chronicles of Narnia. In Season 1 we read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. This Season, we’re reading Prince Caspian, as it was the second book to be published. In comparison to the previous book, Prince Caspian is less familiar to most people so we had to spend more time outlining the plot, so Matt and I ended up having to break up our discussion over two episodes.

S2E24 – Bonus – “God Save The Queen!”

A rather unusual episode this week! My girlfriend and I recently went on vacation to England, so we thought it’d be fun to sit down and tell you all about it, including how we got to play with the personal belongings of a literary giant, as well as have lunch with an Inkling’s grandson!

The Genius of C.S. Lewis: The Great Divorce
