Two Americans and an Englishman discuss patriotism.

A few days ago I posted the family made version of Out of the Silent Planet. This is an interview with the creator and patriarch of the family, Murphy Thelen.
The gang discusses “love of nature”.
The team begins Chapter 2 of The Four Loves, which is entitled “Likings and loves of the sub-human”. This chapter will be read over the course of three episodes and in this episode Lewis examines the subject of pleasure and distinguishes Need-pleasures and Pleasures of Appreciation.
Andrew, David, and Matt finish discussing the Introduction to The Four Loves where Lewis looks at two different kinds of nearness, Nearness-by-likeness and Nearness-of-approach, and explains how loves, when they become gods, become demons.
It is a new season and a new book! Join Andrew, David, and Matt as they begin reading “The Four Loves” by C.S. Lewis. In this book, Lewis examines love and distinguishes between its many different kinds.
On November 3rd, “The Most Reluctant Convert” will be released in cinemas. This movie is based on the play by “The Fellowship of Performing Arts” and Lewis’ own spiritual autobiography, “Surprised By Joy”, which chronicles his journey to Christianity. Dr. Devin Brown was invited to write the Study Guide for the movie so he came on the show to talk about it.
David, Andrew, and Matt wrap up Season 4 with the Season Finale. This is Part 2 of that Finale.
