About this episode
C. S. Lewis is arguably the greatest philosopher of the twentieth century, offering a panoply of scholarly, fictional, children’s, allegorical, and polemic works that provide an extraordinary metaphysical-aesthetic vision of the human need for the divine. His novel, Till We Have Faces, is without question his greatest work of all. Set in an entirely pagan context, Lewis drives us through our own self-justifications to confront the fact that “we cannot know the gods face to face till we have faces.” Don’t miss it.
