PWJ: S2E14 – TGD 9 – “The Grumbler and The Artist”

Leave a comment

Last week we began looking at Chapter 9. It’s an action-packed chapter so we decided to discuss it over the course of two episodes. As we finish the chapter we discuss two of the ghosts whom Lewis sees: The Grumbling Ghost and The Artistic Ghost…

PWJ: S2E13 – TGD 9 – “Meeting George”

Leave a comment

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.

Since this chapter is so rich, Matt and I decided to divide it up into two episodes, so you’ll have to come back next week for the concluding part…

PWJ: S2E10 – AA – Joseph Pearce

One comment

Today is another “After Hours” episode! Joseph Pearce has written books on Oscar Wilde, Hilaire Belloc, J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. He is, among other things, the Director of Book Publishing at the Augustine Institute and can be found podcasting over at Faith and Culture.

In this episode, Joseph 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!

PWJ: S2E6 – TGD 4 – “I gotta have my rights…”

Leave a comment

We now begin the main body of The Great Divorce. In each subsequent chapter, Lewis will witness an encounter between a Ghost and a Bright Spirit where we will see what they are willing to choose in place of Heaven. In today’s episode we spend time with the Bright Spirit, Len, and his former boss, The Big Ghost, who is very insistent that he gets “his rights”…

PWJ: S2E4 – AA – Patti Callahan

Leave a comment

Our episode today is rather special. I sat down with New York Times best selling author, Patti Callahan, to discuss her recent book, Becoming Mrs. Lewis, which recounts the Improbable love story between Joy Davidman and C. S. Lewis.

I was going to try and trim the episode down, but in the end it was so enjoyable I thought I simply had to post the whole thing!

PWJ: S2E1 – TGD P – “Preface”

Leave a comment

Today we start a new book! The Great Divorce is my favourite book by Lewis. Through the vehicle of Jack’s story, we get to see more clearly the daily choices which we make which takes us closer to either Heaven or Hell.

Please send any objections, comments or questions, either via email through the new website or tweet us @pintswithjack or message us via Instagram!
