#214 Alister McGrath: Exploring The Discarded Image (Part 1)

About this episode

Ruth Jackson speaks with Alister McGrath about CS Lewis’ final book, The Discarded Image, a reflection on the medieval view of the cosmos. Why did Lewis care so much about this old model of the universe, and what does it reveal about his views on science, imagination, and faith? They explore Lewis’s description of a geocentric, ordered world and how it contrasts with today’s scientific and secular worldview. Could this older picture still speak to us today? And how did Lewis understand the relationship between science and the biblical creation story? + Subscribe to The CS Lewis podcast: https://pod.link/ + For more shows, free ebook and newsletter visit our new website + For our Premier Unbelievable?
