Thank you for reading this!!
The late Fr Thomas Hopko, who was Dean of St Vladimir's Orthodox seminary, did a wonderful talk on this book. He's a witty and engaging speaker. It's on the Utube, several copies. Full length or chopped up.

I would love to have you read everything CS Lewis has written 😅
One that I feel is imperative in our times is, Stalin's secret agents by M Stanton Evans. It blew my mind. "The third stage of ideological subversion is the crisis phase. By this point, the society is in a state of chaos and a breakdown of trust in institutions. This crisis manifests in political upheaval, economic collapse, or social unrest. The goal is to push the society to a breaking point where people are desperate for solutions, paving the way for radical change." - Yuri Bezmenov
32:56- Chapter 2 The Way
Thank you! I listened to the end😁! I realize the reading & my listening are separated by years, though. 😬
Kindly meant: my comment is that a reader would benefit by foregoing the visage of himself in order to be able to present the text corrected.
Thank you!!
You are contemptable, means your feeling are contemptable, all statements are unimportant, sublime as a speakers 🔊 emotions, authors may or may not require an extension, affect on school 🎒 boys mind, only saying something about only our feelings, subjective and trivial, ethics theology all at stake.
This book is a hard read, well done, sir. I have just finished reading, God In The Dock. which I came across in a charity shop. It's' hard to belive the same author wrote both books.
You have a nice mic but you should take the time to take the noise out with a de-noiser and your mouth sounds with a de-clicker
trying to finish the horse and the boy....
Ty. Nicely done.
Great job. Some of the comments made the points in the book even better. Thank you, community.
I love the quote at 16:15. Thank you for posting this and saving me lots of time and money.
Thank you so much - I enjoyed your reading! I love C. S. Lewis and consider this one of the most important works of the 20th Century. And yes, I listened to all of it. I have little time to sit down and read, so am very grateful that I can listen to great works as I do chores. As to your question: It was during the last quarter of the 19th Century, with the rise of Pragmatism, that Americans abandoned the concept of fixed Principles and Transcendent Truth and embraced relativism, and the Darwinian concept that law, morals, etc., etc., etc., "evolve". Then, with the rise of Existentialism during the first half of the 20th Century, man was seen as nothing more than a biological organism making "choices" on no basis whatsoever other than his passing whims. During the 1960's, a wholesale collapse of all standards whatsoever took place. It was a dizzying time. And the American People disregarded the warnings of the wise. I have read "Til we have faces" several times in the past, but still don't understand it. I wasn't raised in the Christian tradition and so have gaps in my knowledge. Perhaps if I heard it read.....???? Let me know.
Thank you so much 🌷😇🌷 Greetings from Egypt 🌷😇🌷
00:47 Chapter 1 32:50 Chapter 2
Thank you for this.
Great read! Right to the end! Oh, as for when we began to abandon reason... ...I'm gonna say...in the garden of eden!
or in Eden we found our reason :)
@@eponaalbion Ok, if you believe you are a person of, "reason," by all means give us all your reason for saying that. (This should be interesting...)
Well conversing with a friend the other day they explained about the three trees, duality and spirit, using the paleo Hebrew logos, to reveal more light on the subject at hand, to glean any insight i find accuracy of understanding is fundamental to reason, so firstly we need accuracy as to the allegories and metaphors and their true intent, secondly we need to not marr this information with ones ego, bias and beliefs as a start, otherwise any gleamed meaning is polluted by the self. Once one wrestles their self into balance then one can start authentically trying to understand the whole, the paleo Hebrew gives us more accuracy then the freemasonic King James' Bible/book, so with the more accurate information you can now have a more accurate understanding of the esoteric/occult concepts within the Sun Book/holy bible.
Now we have these concepts understood more accurately you can see all people who undertake selfwork an gather accurate information end up in a similar place of understanding, once the concepts have been absorbed accurately you see them in most of the ancient worlds documents, the labels are different the concepts aren't. The Adamu/Ad/man and Lileth Eve/Lelu are aeons apart but expressing similar if not identical concepts. The pantheon, we called "gods", so the concept i have is that the gods were possibly upset at their creation, here to serve an slave for them archons possibly, gained sentients, technology, and rebelled against these "wise ones" .
@@eponaalbion OK, that was sheer stupidity. Let's see the second comment...
Thank you. Your rendition is uplifting.
Love this reading, thanks, really wonderful ❤️
That Hideous Strength
I also listen to it to the very end. Thank you for reading it to me. Now I may have to read the book too LOL
I listened to the end. Great book and good narration. Worthy of many reexaminations
Hey there, I greatly appreciate what you do, I personally love not just reading but listening to good books being read. As a proposal, could you do "Philosophical Foundations of a Christian Faith" By William Lane Craig?
The combination audiobook and commentary is a really good idea, if you were to do more of these, I’d definitely listen :D
I came across your video in the search on an audiobook. I loved the pace and tone in which you read. I was quite surprised going into your channel and finding that this is your one and only video….please do more!!!
Made it all the way through on a Saturday afternoon doing chores. Thank you! Appreciated the additional commentary.
👍 listened to all of it twice.
Thank you
Thanks brother! Divine providence be with you.
Read by someone who used his talent to help this deep book be understood more easily. Well done! Thanks!!
I've heard that this is the philosophical substructure of That Hideous Strength, which I've read many times. Listening to you read The Abolition of Man, I can definitely see it, especially in its criticism of the ultimate nihilism of materialism.
Enjoyed your comments and concluding notes! Well read.
Beautiful voice, thank you for reading this book, I wish you can read other books of This author.
Read Bronze Age Mindset
War and Peace!
Thank you
It’s nice that CS Lewis has the humility to mention that the authors’ he’s criticizing are working hard and doing their best. Pride can be a real problem with ppl who know scripture well and remain apart from the world. Never lose that love
Thank you for reading this!
Thank you for the reading, you kept my husband and I entertained while on our long drove back home. We must be intentional about teaching and upholding virtues and morals to our young if we desire to have a sublime society in the future. mmanuel Kant defines virtue as a kind of strength and resoluteness of will to resist and overcome any obstacles that oppose fulfilling our moral duties. That’s the chest that CS Lewis speaks of..
I thank you for sharing this great work with all of us. I’m sure our Good Lord is well pleased that you’re using your gifts in this way. Thanks again for being a tremendous blessing. LP
Listened to the very end... Thanks for reading
I listened to the end. How about reading, “The Disappearance of Moral Knowledge” by Dallas Willard et. al. ?
Thank you for reading this. You read it well. Thanks again.
"I'm just going to say rta and pretend that's true..."
I read the book before and enjoy listening to you reading it also . I Particularly liked your thoughts on the author and his style of conveying his message . Good Job .
Bought this book in November because I had heard how good it was. Although I have an MD, I could not really grasp the first chapter and kept putting the book down. Hearing it read aloud with inflections and a few clarifications really helps.
thank you brother! God bless
