Since we’re beginning a new season and a new book, we thought it would be wise to introduce new listeners to the life of C.S. Lewis. To this end, we invited onto the show James Como, a founding member of the New York C. S. Lewis Society, to talk about his latest book, “C.S. Lewis: A Very Short Introduction”.
To celebrate “Hobbit Day”, today we begin Season 4 of “Pints With Jack”! This season we’ll be reading through C.S. Lewis’ “The Screwtape Letters”. In this episode we introduce our new co-host and talk about what to expect this season…
Rather than talking with Matt on today’s Skype Session, I chatted with my friend Joe Heschmeyer about his new book, “Who am I, Lord? Finding your identity in Christ”

will be discussing theosis with Joe Heschmeyer from Holy Family School of Faith. He writes at Shameless Popery and is also on The Catholic Podcast.

Having completed Mere Christianity, Matt and I take this episode to discuss the book as a whole, share some of our favourite parts, as well as what it was like to read a book “in public” over the course of a year…
We have finally made it! In today’s episode we draw to a close our journey through “Mere Christianity”. Lewis closes out Book IV by talking in more detail about “The New Men”…
Today we address a question which is often asked by skeptics: why are all Christians not obviously nicer than non-Christians? In response, Jack asks “Did Christ come to make nice people or new men?”
