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.
S1E17 – MC B3C5 – “Sexual Morality”
What is the virtue of chastity? Is it unhealthy, impossible or repressive? In today’s episode, Matt and I look at what C.S. Lewis had to say about this, the most unpopular of the virtues…
S1E16 – MC B3C4 – “Morality and Psychoanalysis”
Is Psychoanalysis in competition with Christianity? Or are they, in fact, complementary? In today’s episode Matt and I will be unpacking what C.S.

S1E15 – MC B3C3 – “Social Morality”

S1E14 – MC B3C2 – “The Cardinal Virtues”

S1E13 – MC B3C1 – “The Three Parts of Morality”
Today in Mere Christianity, we begin Book III! This new book is entitled “Christian Behaviour”. In this chapter, in addition to learning about the qualities of my ideal woman(!), we discover what C.S. Lewis regarded as “the three parts of morality”. To illustrate these different parts, Jack uses the analogy of a convoy of ships.
S1E12 – MC B2C5 – “The Practical Conclusion”
In previous chapters, Jack has explained that we receive New Life from Christ. In this final chapter he looks at how it is communicated to us. He principally focuses on belief, Baptism and Holy Communion.
S1E11 – MC B2C4 – “The Perfect Penitent”
How did it save us? How have different Christians tried to explain it? Do we need to understand the mechanics of how it works in order to be saved? These questions and more will be discussed on this episode of “The Eagle and Child”, so pull up a chair and raise your glass. Cheers!
