#248 Ruth Jackson: Why CS Lewis Might Be Exactly What a Post-Truth World Needs
About this episode
In this special edition of the CS Lewis Podcast, we’re sharing a conversation first recorded for the Lesser Known Lewis podcast, kindly made available for our listeners. Ruth Jackson joins hosts Jordan Duncan and Sean Stevenson Douglas to explore one of Lewis’s lesser-known apologetic essays, written in 1945, and ask how it speaks to today’s cultural moment. Together they reflect on truth, authenticity, beauty, and imagination in Christian apologetics, especially in a post-Christian, post-modern age. The discussion ranges from Lewis’s defence of objective truth to the power of beauty, story, and lived faith, with rich reflections on Narnia, miracles, politics, and the modern search for meaning. A thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation that shows just how timeless, and timely, Lewis remains.
