I recorded this podcast exactly one year ago while absent from Grace Agenda, which had a C.S. Lewis focus last year. Thankfully, I am participating in Grace Agenda this year, although I didn't have time to record a new podcast today. So I am re-sharing a lightly edited version of last year's podcast, which is a look at China through ten of C.S. Lewis’s letters. 

C.S. Lewis mentioned China numerous times in his correspondence. Here are a few examples, followed by my own thoughts and commentary. The first one in particular stands out for how close it comes to outright racism, especially the original letter from Lewis’s brother, Warnie.
