PWJ: S4E41 – AH – “After Hours” with Michael Ward

In 2008, Dr. Michael Ward released “Planet Narnia”, a book which caused a real stir in C.S. Lewis studies in which he offered a new lens through which to view “The Chronicles of Narnia”. On today’s show, in addition to his book, Dr. Ward discusses his friendship with the late Walter Hooper, as well as his involvement in honouring Lewis’ life and legacy. Oh yes, and he also explains how he came to give James Bond a pair of x-ray glasses…

PWJ: S2E10 – AA – Joseph Pearce

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!
