“MacDonald Month” wraps up with the first of two episodes on Lewis’ book, “George MacDonald: An Anthology”. Today David is joined by MacDonald scholar, Dr. Kirstin Jeffrey Johnson, to discuss the Preface.
This past season we didn’t end up doing a MacDonald Month, so to compensate, we gifted our Patreon supporters a recording of probably the best introductory MacDonald work…
Here is an article on Universalism and the divergent opinions of McDonald and Lewis by Allyson Flake Matsoso which I helped proof-read.
How is it that we can be in Season 5 and yet never had an episode on George MacDonald?!
David corrects this oversight today by interviewing Dr. Kirstin Jeffrey Johnson and discussing MacDonald’s famous book, Phantastes.
Sorry for the delay! This is the episode where Matt and I sit back and reflect on this past season going through The Great Divorce chapter by chapter. Click on the episode title for the Show Notes!
The chapter today is really the pivot of The Great Divorce. In it, we meet George MacDonald, a writer whom Lewis had read on earth, but who is now a Bright Spirit. MacDonald explains much to Jack, particularly concerning the troubling accusations raised by the Hard-Bitten Ghost.

In this episode, Joseph Pearce and I will be discussing his book C. S. Lewis and the Catholic Church, which looks at Jack’s relationship to the Catholic Church and addresses the question asked by many Catholic C.S. Lewis fans: Why did Lewis not convert to Catholicism? Why didn’t he “Swim the Tiber”? We hope that all our listeners, regardless of denomination, will find this discussion interesting and very thought-provoking!
