“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.” C.S. Lewis Until I read that book, I had read nothing that truly described my experience of grief…and I was relieved.
While I was studying Old Norse literature in Oxford during the Summer of 1988, I was a member of the C S Lewis Society, and we held a meeting at The Kilns. We cycled out there one weekend afternoon, and enjoyed sitting there in the sitting room, listening to a paper presented by a guest. I think this was arranged by a member of the Society who knew the caretaker of the House. Such a privilege.
I too, have visited The Kilns, in 1974. A lovely home, and deeply cherished by his fans. And I have sat at the table in the pub where the Inklings met to discuss their works, and read their current projects. Heady stuff, indeed!
As an historian, a tutor and writer and a Judea-Christian, this poignant doc gutted me thoroughly and made me so bloody grateful that this man’s work was part of my upbringing. Thank u mom & dad. Os quiero tanto
I teach 5th grade at an urban school in Louisiana. One of our novels was LWW. I can not tell you how this novel affected my students. When a student from the hood, who doesn’t want to read, picked up LWW and become engrossed with this book.
C. S. Lewis who was one of the great men of this era, who I enjoyed reading about many years back. Now that I’ve listened to this wonderful documentary I can see how he also suffered from great loss as some of us have suffered. Thank you for sharing this documentary about him. 👍
A magnificent portrait of a remarkable man! A great production. I found it interesting how easily dismissed as a poet he is presented. He is, in fact a very good poet. Possible years ahead of what we now call poetry, with one exemption: like in his Narnia and science fiction books, his poems are backed by and packed with centuries of the wisdom he collected in his head and in his heart. It may be time to give his poetry another go. To read it as he meant it to be read. With profound understanding. Dymer would rest in better peace if we did. Thank you for sharing this wonderful insight into my favourite writer. Greetings from Australia.
You should invest in the Narnia books and read them. I think Narnia is heaven! I was about 85 or so when I bought the set at a garage sale, but before giving them to my great grandchildren I had to read them to make sure they were something I wanted them to read.I am 82 and this year I bought myself a set. Very easy to read, give them a try! 😘 Grannie Lou
I think my pryer is for God to guide my consciousness that is indeveroring to know The Soul. One way or another the key thing, for me, is that we "mear Christans" are asking God for "His" direct experience. 56:26 @user-qr7sv6sc7d
I have the Big book 📖 of 7 stories. It is my favorite book of all the books I’ve read over my lifetime. The movie The Lion 🦁, The Witch 🧙♀️, and The Wardrobe was always a favorite go-to when my kids were growing up.
I thank God for the privilege of getting to know a little more about this almost mystical man, a most convert who became a champion of God! All glory be to God!
Research is horrible. Wilson is terrible biographer. He said that Lewis never wrote any apologetics after the debate with Anscombe. He wrote plenty of apologetics and even Anscombe herself said the incident was no big deal. People made way more of it than what happened. Lewis was not destroyed over it. I wouldn’t trust anything Wilson says. He used to brag that he became an atheist from reading “Mere Christianity.” He supposedly came back to the faith but he has made no retraction of his error filled book on Lewis.
@annchovey2089, thank you for setting the record straight. I truly wish I had been able to sit in on CS Lewis's lectures. There is a channel that features his essays, which are fascinating. Anyway, thanks again and I will be more careful about praising Wilson. Have a great day😊
@@debbieellett9093 You're welcome. I would trust anything by Douglas Gresham (Lewis' stepson), Terry Glaspey, or Louis Markos. Don't bother with "Jack" by George Sayer. He claimed CSL lost his faith after Joy died but that is not true. He still continued to write works of a theological nature. The movie "Shadowlands" tries to paint CSL the same way. It was an emotionally accurate movie but not factual. People hostile to the faith are anxious to paint Lewis as someone who lost his faith. Couldn't be further from the truth.
C.S. Lewis a hero of faith, had his moments. And left a legacy of love for each of us. As a Jew come to Messiah of Isaiah 53 in my best friend and savior I do so appreciate Him and His writings. amen ty for the share....best to all friends.
C.S. Lewis is one of my all-time favorite suthors. But, my love of him is not so much for his novels as his Christian writing. A highly intelligent and commonsensical approach. I read them over and over and over again.
Yes indeed - mine was similar. Not sure why one would present him as tragic - he doesn't himself (in "SbJ"). Looking for "key turning points" in another's life is a mistake, even if it makes biographies easier to construct!
Poor C.S.Lewis. I can always remember reading the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe..it was a book my favourite teacher and Great friend lent to me at the age of 7 or 8. The chronicles of Narnia are still my favourite. R.I.P. C.S.Lewis
Wilson’s book on Lewis is filled with errors. He used to brag that he became an atheist from reading “Mere Christianity”. He has yet to apologize or set the record straight.
I never could read very well... and have read only a handful of books (less than 10) cover to cover. Oddly, I can write like the wind... and it's kind of you to present this work - these folks are people we should know - as 'real people'.
@@melindalemmon2149 - tell ya what... I'd love to have it read to me. Wink wink.

So then I've got (2) possibilities to contend with and then it stacks and grows and is too much work. Hahaha.

The kindness of your reply says much about you - thanks muchly. 😊
And, interestingly, Aslan, the name of the lion in the Narnia books, is the Turkish word for lion. Although I am not Turkish, Turkish was my first language.
My Beloved, Rescued from a Walmart parking 🅿️ lot by the Humane Society, Aslan 🦁🐈 kitty, departed to the Rainbow Bridge on May 5, 2024, exactly 3 months ago. Aslan was 🚫 not in Baby 🍼 name book 📚 📖 but was in a Narnia collector's edition book, so I finally learned his name meant ♌ Lion. He was the father figure for all my rescued cats.🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱✨🐾🌈🌉✨🐾🦁🐈✨🕊️
Time Magazine referred to 22 November 1963 as "The Day The Giants Fell". I wish, today and for the rest of my life, that I had kept and cherished that edition.
Yep! Good programme tho' not a big fan of Wilson's book. But Alistair McGrath's is "unputdownable" as is the latest one by Harry Lee Poe... 3 volumes & quite superb. (Lee Poe has been interviewed several times & is fascinating listening. Jack & Warren were only sent to schools in England to get rid of their Irish accents. Seriously! Further, Jack drank just as much as his brother---he just didn't go in for "binges"!) But Poe's emphasis on Lewis' love of the "The Hero's Journey" motif in myth & legend was such an eye-opener for me. Guess it was there all the time, just hiding in plain sight.)
Love to watch, this time I have a question: did you add the bamboo just for a contrasting color or did you add for strength in the yarn for socks? If for color: you nailed it but if you added it for strength you need to add so much more AND you need to run the batt through a few more times to actually blend. I have answered my question...lol...you added for just contrast! Having been a batt maker for YEARS..for fun, wholesale and retail...I would run the fibers 3 times, always 3 times just to get a smooth batt BUT for a sock blend I would run the batts through sometimes more than 3 times to truly get a well blended fiber-for example: 20% to 25 % nylon mixed with whatever fiber: merino or dorset or polworth, a yway, whatever fiber I would blend the white nylon until I couldn't see the white fiber! It might take 4,5 times but to truly get a blend I had to keep running through the carder until it was really blended or the singles would spin up bumpy, lumpy and not blended to make a strong sock yarn... I know I am babbling here but to spend all the time to make a good three ply sock yarn for it only to get holes in the socks after 6 to 8 times wearing them...too much of a waste!!! I knit my socks on a 2.0 or 2.5mm, sometimes even smaller and to have a commercial yarn wear a hole after 3 or 4 times wearing...either my kids are very hard on their socks or the commercial yarn is for the birds, I would have said...full of shit but didn't want to offend... Sock yarn has to be strong or you will be mending them every other time they are worn and I just don't want to do that... I guess the other solution is to have so many pairs of socks that it takes a year to wear the same pair twice...lol...❤❤❤
I watched "Beyond Narnia," hosted by A. N. Wilson, which is about C. S. Lewis. It makes several mistakes. The debate encounter Lewis had with Elizabeth Anscombe did not defeat Lewis as an apologist such that he only wrote fiction after that! This is a tendentious reading, and one corrected long ago by Victor Reppert in "C. S. Lewis's Dangerous Idea." Beverslius gives this take in his book, C. S. Lewis and the Search for Rational Religion," as well, and it is wrong. The film also ends on a preposterous note, claiming that Lewis was not really an intellectual, but wrote and lived from the heart. If Lewis was not an intellectual, then the earth is flat and Kenny G is better than John Coltrane. What an absurd statement! Lewis was ten times the intellectual that A. N. Wilson is. The film would have benefitted from more interview time with Alister McGrath, who wrote the best biography of Lewis and who understands his theology and apologetics. Wilson is a piker.
Yes!! I chose a documentary about the topic I'm interested in but they ruined it by music I don't like! I could play my own music if I find I'm unable to absorb information without background music!! This is so crazy!! Good job it isn't a music video, as they'd be playing another music in the background!! People are so unbelievably backwards.
Tough crowd these commenters. Lewis revealed the Freudian absurdity of his very specific religious affectations. Depicting Yeshua as a poached egg was a tad excessive; although Hitchens used it as an opening argument.
This is just a reposting and rebranding of a video originally published about four years ago by a group called “absolute history“. Seems like a copyright violation to me.
Not super rich, but certainly very comfortable. (It's always a question of comparison, isn;t it?) His father was a Belfast solicitor, and his grandfather a rector in the Church of Ireland. So pretty solidly middle class. The house his father built (Little Leas) is large , and there were a number of servants, which was not unusual at the time. Not mentioned here is his nurse, who was important in his ally life, and told Jack and his brother stories that were Irish folklore - less in the sense of being from, for example, the 'Ulster Cycle' (Cuchulain and so on); more simple stories of the working people. Jack and Warnie had ongoing tales they told each other, I believe. But in this production the main emphasis is not on the origins of his children's stories.
@@kidnplay3978For one thing, A.N. Wilson’s biography of Lewis contains about 60 errors and Wilson himself used to brag that he became an atheist from reading “Mere Christianity”. He supposedly has returned to the faith but I have yet to see an apology from him.
What on earth do you mean? I have studied CS Lewis, his life and his books, for probably more years than you have been alive. This documentary is beautifully done. In particular, the insight into Jack's relationship with Minty Moore is one we rarely see. Was it a romantic relationship? We will never know. Personally I think it unlikely and that Jack replaced Paddy Moore and his own mother with this rather cantankerous woman, and saw her rather as the responsibility he would have taken on for his own mother once Albert passed. Marriage and children do not appear to be part of the life Jack saw for himself - at any time. He may have been a romantic, but romance was rather outside of his sphere of immediate needs or understandings. Jack Lewis was a man's man. And regardless of what Mr. Wilson says here, he was an intellectual to his fingertips. Of course his relationship with Joy was important, but at least here it doesn't assume the extreme raison d'être with which other biographers (and films) have allowed. Jack saw Joy as a fellow investigator of life. They were soulmates for sure; whether they were lovers is another matter. Lewis seemed to be quite good at what might be considered rather bizarre relationships. As a child, growing up as every new Narnia book was published - and oh how I wish I had them now - I learned my morals from those books: I learned about duty, and loyalty, and yes, about penalty and remorse. It would seem, @mypeeps 1965, that you have not realised any of those things. This excellent documentary brought back all the love and admiration I have always felt. Thank you enormously, A. N. Wilson for inviting me in.
Bless him and everyone that has glimpsed a bit of his genius.

I regret ever reading these books.
Un-listenable to with that un-musical background; a real pity.
now thats a set of ears
He must have been interesting to talk to
Tough crowd these commenters. Lewis revealed the Freudian absurdity of his very specific religious affectations. Depicting Yeshua as a poached egg
was a tad excessive; although Hitchens used it as an opening argument.
This is just a reposting and rebranding of a video originally published about four years ago by a group called “absolute history“. Seems like a copyright violation to me.
Was he born rich
Not super rich, but certainly very comfortable. (It's always a question of comparison, isn;t it?) His father was a Belfast solicitor, and his grandfather a rector in the Church of Ireland. So pretty solidly middle class. The house his father built (Little Leas) is large , and there were a number of servants, which was not unusual at the time. Not mentioned here is his nurse, who was important in his ally life, and told Jack and his brother stories that were Irish folklore - less in the sense of being from, for example, the 'Ulster Cycle' (Cuchulain and so on); more simple stories of the working people. Jack and Warnie had ongoing tales they told each other, I believe. But in this production the main emphasis is not on the origins of his children's stories.
Religious propaganda no more nor less.
The one myth which is true. So much for erudite minds
Yes, his traumatic experiences caused him to retreat into a world of fantasy and also denial.
Pena que é em Inglês
Sorry, can't bear the insufferable old toff narrating.
CS LEWIS would be appalled by this crap!
What crap??? What happened?

@@kidnplay3978For one thing, A.N. Wilson’s biography of Lewis contains about 60 errors and Wilson himself used to brag that he became an atheist from reading “Mere Christianity”. He supposedly has returned to the faith but I have yet to see an apology from him.
What on earth do you mean? I have studied CS Lewis, his life and his books, for probably more years than you have been alive. This documentary is beautifully done. In particular, the insight into Jack's relationship with Minty Moore is one we rarely see. Was it a romantic relationship? We will never know. Personally I think it unlikely and that Jack replaced Paddy Moore and his own mother with this rather cantankerous woman, and saw her rather as the responsibility he would have taken on for his own mother once Albert passed. Marriage and children do not appear to be part of the life Jack saw for himself - at any time. He may have been a romantic, but romance was rather outside of his sphere of immediate needs or understandings. Jack Lewis was a man's man. And regardless of what Mr. Wilson says here, he was an intellectual to his fingertips.
Of course his relationship with Joy was important, but at least here it doesn't assume the extreme raison d'être with which other biographers (and films) have allowed. Jack saw Joy as a fellow investigator of life. They were soulmates for sure; whether they were lovers is another matter. Lewis seemed to be quite good at what might be considered rather bizarre relationships.
As a child, growing up as every new Narnia book was published - and oh how I wish I had them now - I learned my morals from those books: I learned about duty, and loyalty, and yes, about penalty and remorse.
It would seem, @mypeeps 1965, that you have not realised any of those things.
This excellent documentary brought back all the love and admiration I have always felt. Thank you enormously, A. N. Wilson for inviting me in.
Amen, amen and amen again
This guy needs better fitting dentures. They are actually clicking at the end of almost every sentence.
And that is all that you have to say in regard to this documentary?
"It just happens to be the one myth
thats true...." -- my ass !
