#215 Alister McGrath: Exploring The Discarded Image (Part 2)
About this episode
In part two, Ruth Jackson and Alister McGrath explore how CS Lewis saw the links between science, philosophy, and faith. They discuss his view that science can point to deeper truths, his idea of Christianity as the “true myth,” and his belief that scientific theories aren’t final facts. The conversation touches on Lewis’s thoughts about the soul, the value of myth, and whether modern science misses something older worldviews grasped. They also consider how The Discarded Image connects to his wider apologetics and his warning against “chronological snobbery.”
