C.S Lewis's surviving BBC radio address: Part 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- The last installment of Lewis' BBC addresses left on tape. This is what would eventually become the chapter of Mere Christianity entitled "Beyond Personality". I encourage the translation of this video into different languages (with due sourcing of course) so if you are so inclined and have the talent . . .
C.S. Lewis was brilliant, really brilliant. His works are really quite wonderful. Thank you.
agreed
Why isn't this speach used in ALL Christian Churches !! Thanks Be To God You put this up and I hope if even one person can transform from this it is worth rejoicing . God Bless to all
I feel like Cs Lewis would have been the best grandfather ever :)
here here
I love how he speaks to everyone's fears and concerns about our Christian lives. Ah, he would have been an awesome person to know.
Look up John Maddox speaking on his time being a student of C.S. Lewis. That and his adopted son can both be found on UA-cam.
Yes he would have, I am so glad that we get to see and meet all our brothers and sisters in Heaven. Knowing this helps so much with the crazy down here. God bless.😊
Thank you Lord for giiving to this world C.S.Lewis and I eagerly await that moment when I get to meet him.
Um, hes dead, hon. Died in 1963.Too late.
Oh, didn’t anyone tell you yet that Christians believe in eternity? You really must try to keep up, Hon, it isn’t that difficult to grasp.
"I long to meet my Saviour first of all." :) But I do look forward to meeting C.S. Lewis. Having long been familiar with only his works of fiction, I am only recently beginning to explore his works of theology and philosophy and discover what a great mind and heart for God he really had. He more than anyone else I ever read or heard explains why Christianity is the most intellectually honest belief system in existence. Yes, thank you God for C.S. Lewis, and the brilliant explanations of your Truth which he gave us.
@@edifyguy i dunno about y'all but I just met him
thank you for posting this clip and the other of the voice of C.S.Lewis.
For the record, there's also a recording of him reading "The Four Loves." I have it on cassette.
God bless you always
Renee1952 could you upload it? Thank you!
I have that recording too. :-)
Is it of him reading it, or is it of his addresses a couple of years before, from which the book was derived? ua-cam.com/video/m4hI638mskQ/v-deo.html There is much overlap, but also some interesting differences. The best picture of his perception of the matter actually comes from listening to the one and reading the other. Interestingly he changed his view on one point in the intervening years between the lectures and the book. Who can tell me what it is? :)
Oh! I am blown away! I just 'happened' to open up 'mere christianty; and read these very passages today,,,I hadnt read CS Lewis in over a year! THEN I 'stumbled' upon these precious clips!! I had NO IDEA there was any existing audio of Lewis! WELL, GOD BLESS YOU. And Praise God! Thanks so much.
A thousand times yes! Thank you whoever put this up. Nice to hear the man, can't wait to meet Jack..,
God knows where you are
Robert P
I like that. I, too, look forward with Christian hope to meet c. s. lewis and all who have gone before me in our heavenly home as well. Of course of Jesus
It'll be a long line 😊
Wow! Just found this March 20 2020. Thank God.
Wonderful being able to listen to him!! And he is a treasure, a great teacher to so many! Thank you.
excellent work! I will definitely expose my daughter to his complete work. she is 1 now, but his work is for all future generations!
God really really like 💗 like that
Especially the movies of Narnia and the rest of the novels .
Thank you so much for posting this wondrously moving video! I feel so blessed to be able to listen to C.S. Lewis's greatly beautiful voice giving us Heaven if we will take it. I can't help saying, I hope there were children in his life who got to hear that deeply musical voice, reading to them.
I have been following C. S. Lewis since before he died in 1963. He has touch my life almost as much as the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In fact, he has re-presented Christ to me in terms that even Jesus would have had problems showing.
May his journey begin again and again in all hearts who find his works. May his eternal life be only the beginning of the best of all stories.
Jim
I understand your sentiment of appreciating C.S. Lewis for his writings and understandings of God and scripture. However, if "Jesus would have had problems showing" you anything at all, then something is off with what you believe about Jesus' ability.
Hey Jim,
I too have been brought back from depression and back to my faith in Christ through Lewis's works. Lewis was the tool in the hand of Christ. Never would it have been harder for Jesus to have brought you to Him.
Anyways, much love from a fellow follower of Christ and student of Lewis
With Him, all things are possible, including speaking to you through Lewis. Fellow prodigals are lead to Lewis just as those caught up in human intellect (as imperfect as it is) have been lead to the members of IDW: Jordan Peterson, the Weinstein brothers and others. If they in turn lead people back to Him....It is looking for the divine in each of these, each reader, even in our enemies that will help us focus on His face and not sink in the storms that distract us.
@@SethCorbinMusic I can't speak for him, but I believe Jim was simply saying that Jesus, in the time in which he lived, did not speak in ways and with illustrations that Lewis, as a 20th century man could speak to us.
Christ could have referenced the Nazis and so on, but it would have been gibberish for his time. The comment isn't about the limitations of His power, but just the constraints inherent in the context of His time on Earth.
Lewis and The Gospels go together so well to nourish the Christian on the path of life. Thanks again.
C.S. Lewis...The greatest theologian said he was not one....amazing.....
His humility is mind-blowing. I'm not sure he was the greatest theologian, but he was a great one, no question. I think once you know so much, you become keenly aware of what you do not know, and your own inadequacy.
Hear the voice of one of my idols... It's sad that there's no many people of this kind
Wow.
One of my favorite chapters from Mere Christianity.
Thank you!
It is so interesting and inspirational to listen to CS Lewis. I revisited d the film 'Shadowlands' recently having watched it in the early 90s not knowing I would have a very similar relationship 10 years on.
I finished problem of pain and heaven has been on my mind all day! So yes i'm jumping for joy with you
What a wonderful mind!
But we WILL know him someday!!! And I look foreward to that day with great and urgent wonder!!! Thank you, gnosisandlight, for the beautiful video and pictures throughout it!
He failed his Drivers License test 17 times.
That sounds like something I'd do lol
Wonderful, thank you. It seems unconscionable to me that BBC does not still have all of the original recordings. They have incredibly well preserved film from before WW1. For those who believe though, soon we shall meet him!
RBC Ministries has a wonderful video bio of him.
Amen!
The BBC dont want us hearing things like this these days.
So glad Hundreth featured this in one of their songs. This is beautiful.
A profound thank you sir.
Thank you so much! What a blessing!
Amazing. Thank you.
I can hardly wait to meet C.S Lewis in person one day, once we have really developed as people, and become in likeness to Christ.
awsome, God bless u all
I Love the discussion about salt
God bless you
Love the fact that you call my man Jack 👍🏻
Love this!
Good intro / outro music too. Great job.
Beautiful message, praise God for you C.S. Lewis
A man is no fool to give what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose .
Well done. I hope those who can translate will do so. I think, though, the last caption was meant to read "whole world" not "world whole."
Beautifully articulate, whilst 100% >> Ostensible
What a precious treasure that man was and in Christ IS ! ''I am all at once what Christ is, since he was what I am, and This Jack, joke, poor potsherd, patch, matchwood, immortal diamond, Is immortal diamond.'' From the poem 'That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire and of the comfort of the Resurrection' by Gerard Manley Hopkins
Wonderful video ....
thank you for posting this. not infallible, but certainly wise.
@MsNoraBlack The book "Mere Christianity" includes this message, and many like it, in very similar words. If you haven't read it yet, get a copy!
c.s. lewis, atlhough a great writer, leaves not much room for intepretation in his works. but he still was one of the greatest christian spokesmen of the 20th century. may God grant him rest and peace.
He intentionally did not leave room for interpretation, I believe; he was sharing his interpretations, and did not wish them misunderstood.
GENIUSLY "SIMPLIFIED" POWERFUL TRUTH/S!!!
When Christ comes into us, he doesn't change our personality but rather our characters.
@spidey676 all of his speeches were documented in his book "Mere Christianity". there wouldnt be much of a point in translating this audio when it is already translated to spanish in book format. the whole purpose of the audio is to hear his powerful voice. it wouldn't be as powerful if it weren't him speaking it.
Totally fascinating! (in spite of his Oxford accent.) Has it been translated into Swedish? (if not I´d be glad to do it.)
One of my favorite writers and thinkers... and a star in the lineage of Christian Apologists:
Chesterton>Lewis>Muggeridge (whom I have come to regard as a pompous ass)>Gomes.
(Incidentally, the last, Peter J. Gomes, unlike the others, was American, of African/Cape Verdean/Sephardic descent, Gay, and the Chaplain at Harvard for years.)
What they all have in common is a near-empirical/logical conclusion on the genuineness of Christianity, which, as a devout Theist, I find much more convincing than a simple belief in, and espousal of, Biblical Inerrancy.
Could I be convinced of the singular truth of Christianity, the writings of these men, Lewis especially, would achieve that.
(The "Narnia" music is a nice touch!)
Oops i didn't mean to "like" this post. i pressed the button by mistake.
Trust me:
That would have amused Lewis immensely.

Add to your list A.W Tozer and D.L Moody. To say that Moody was the Billy Graham of his time does not do it justice.
I wish people today had such eloquent objections to Faith as Lewis was responding to. It seems to me that we (my former self included) reject Christ due to misconceptions from ignorance rather than actual doubt.
Thank You
A lot of Christian truth taught by Jesus and his disciples was lost over time. Its nice to hear the truth that we are actually sons and daughters of God and he wants to give us all he has if we will except it.
Truly grateful for this video. YAH bless you.
His theology is indeed closer to the Orthodox concept of theosis through repentance than anything else.
@silmalila2 It is the exact same case with me. I cant stop reading C.S. Lewis.
@spidey676 There is already a translation in Portuguese but not one in Spanish yet. If you can do a translation for both videos (part 1 and 2) that would be great. As owner of the videos you have my permission. I love Lewis and want the people of Mexico to have access to him in this format. If you have any farther questions just PM me. Thanks!!
did they ever make the Spanish translation? if not, I wouldn't mind doing it! But do you have the transcripts or something? Some parts are a little hard to understand for me. I'll try though.
Reading Til We Have Faces in 1974 literally saved my spiritual life. "I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You, yourself are the answer; before your face all questions die away...................Words only words sent out to battle other words. Until one knows the real Jesus, all the Scripture and all the dogma and all the apologetics in the world are nothing but meaningless words.
CS Lewis ended up in Hades as he didn’t believe the Bible was the inerrant Word of God. All of you idolaters who fawned over Lewis, examine your heart.
molto interessante .non essendo in italiano ho tradotto tutto ma mi sarebbe piaciuto capire di piu.
Found it.
and for Spain!!! and all the Spanish speaking countries!!
Is there any written script of the video available for someone who's not an english native speaker?
This man must have read the writings of Swedenborg.
Like a new chance.
Merry Michelmas
@GenghisKhan44 Gosh he does doesn't he, hadn't noticed that before. i wonder if there both playing mornington crescent up top.
With all due respect, you don't own the copyright to the audio or images and he doesn't need your permission.
huh.... where are the atheist trolls ??
Where can I get this song in the beginning?
***** Yeah I found it lol, It's called Only The Beginning Of The Adventure if ur curious
+JustmeKasie The Magicians Nephew-The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe - The Horse and His Boy - Prince Caspian - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - The Silver Chair - The last Battle . The brilliant Chronicles of Narnia.
I have discovered the ultimate truth can only be found in Theology namely Christian Theology, which explores the deepest side of God and His Creation. Science has explored the bounds of its habitation long ago and has stumbled into the area of God. Science today is being lead by blind men who are feeling blindly around the walls of materialism have have discovered they cannot go any further. They are feeling around not realising its a wall.
Origin, meaning and purpose are Supernatural phenomenon
Surfxeo well put
Ah, I forgot this comment. Read Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander.
He got invited by alsan.
@6:44 how did Gandalf get into Narnia. o.o
A play called OF WARDROBES AND RINGS.
Quite obviously, Lewis is on the left with his work, and Tolkien on the right with his.
C.S Lewis and J.R.R.Tolkein we’re friends in academia and in their personal lives,JRR wrote The Hobbit and all The Lord of the Rings series..hence Gandalf. ( as you no doubt know,C.S Lewis wrote the Narnia. Series of books ostensibly for children,although fabulous for all ages.( Of course both authors wrote other material too)
'Science today is being lead by blind men who are feeling blindly around the walls of materialism have have [sic] discovered they cannot go any further. They are feeling around not realising its a wall.'
How can you be so dismissive of scientists, do you know them all, do you understand what they are finding out about reality? Is their life meaningless to you, after all is not the physics they study a study of creation? Come on mate!
Physics explains creation only after the fact. he is talking about the fact.
