This week Matt and David conclude the chapter in “Mere Christianity” on the subject of Christian marriage.
S1E18 – MC B3C6 – “Christian Marriage” (Part One)
Following on from last week’s episode on the virtue of chastity, today we look at the Christian teaching on marriage with C.S. Lewis. Matt and I got rather carried away on this chapter, recording far more material than normal, so this chapter will be divided into two parts.

S1E7 – MC B1C5 – “We Have Cause to Be Uneasy”
We finally come to the last chapter of Book I of “Mere Christianity”! The chapter bears the ominous title “We have cause to be uneasy”. Thus far, C.S. Lewis has demonstrated that there is a Moral Law which we did not create and that we violate this Law continually. Now Jack explains why this should give us cause for concern…
