Joe Heschmeyer talks about “The Argument From Desire”
Lewis said that before he was six years old, he was “a votary of the Blue Flower”. The Blue Flower symbolized a life-long longing, “an unsatisfied desire which is itself more desirable than any other satisfaction”. Lewis used this idea in Mere Christianity to build The Argument From Desire, which Joe Heshmeyer discusses on today’s show as part of “Apologetics Month”.
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. Earlier in the year, Joe came to San Diego and gave a presentation on the subject of theosis, so I invited him onto the podcast to help give us a clear Biblical basis for this doctrine which Lewis discussed at great length in Mere Christianity.
