I feel a bit ashamed and cheated that I've only recently "discovered" Dr. Lennox. He's a remarkable mixture of brilliance, faith and hope for all of us.

It takes more than intellect to love God, in fact the apologists are much needed but holy men are much more needed.

as i understand it, no video / film footage of C.S. Lewis is known and only a small bit of audio recording. what a shame. so glad to hear people who saw him in person share their stories.

Lovely. Could have listened to more of that.

Thank you for always speaking The Truth John. Amen

Loved this. Thank you

How I wished we have video recordings of CS Lewis' lectures like the videos we have of Lennox and others. 😢

What a cool tune to go along with this. Above all, Praise God for these men.

♦"Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool." ♦"Only fools revere the supernatural myths & fictions just because a book claims itself to be the holy truth." ♦"It's difficult to free fools from the chains they revere."

Obviously, CS Lewis’ lecturing style precluded a question and answer period.

John Lennox proves that *"An educated fool is more foolish than an uneducated one."*

I love you John Lennox. You have always been a powerful force for Christianity. However, I need to question the reverence a few very good Christian apologists I listen to have for Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien because of their powerful, hidden "Christian" messages. My spiritual crap detector has always been set off by such claims. When Christ created allegories to explain God's message, or His kingdom, these stories at least had verisimilitude - that is, they resembled real life, and the moral of the story was absolutely applicable to the men and women listening. When he told the story of the good Samaritan, for example, he didn't need to say, "Once upon a time there was a Fnarp from the planet Zod". Compare this to the stories of Tolkien and Lewis: Lions and witches, Hobbits and Golems. Basically these writers have begun with a certain moral premise, or outcome, and created a series of fantastical episodes and that lead to that outcome - at least for the anthropomorphic beasts that populate their fiction. Once we finish reading about magicians and spells and rings and mystical castles and quests for the source of good, we're supposed to have some epiphany: "Ah, this was a Christian message! That's it! I'm converting to Christianity!" Yet there are Tolkien and Lewis geeks out there who are members of their university Tolkien or Lewis Societies, wear all the costumes, recite entire chapters by rote, and have no intention of replacing their idols with God. In fact, they simply don't know God. So much for those powerful hidden messages in these books! It might as well be Monty Python. The same claim of "powerful Christian allegory" can be, and has been, made for The Shack, in which God is an old black woman, or even Star Wars. I was once told by some Christian that, despite all the blasphemous ridicule of God in The Simpsons, it was all worth watching because one episode portrayed the nerdy, embarrassing "Christian" Ned Flanders in a good light, and therefore it was worth wading through all the rest and tolerating its message. Those Christians who accept anything on face value just because it's labelled "Christian" need to wake up. Both Lewis and Tolkien wrote many wise words in favour of their beliefs, and we might say they were very clever because they covered those beliefs with a Christian cloak. But what were those beliefs really? I myself have read Lewis's stuff that comes across as Christian apologetics. It turned out my suspicions were correct: he believed in a mysticism that is anything but Christian, and was a member of the same society as Tolkien - a society that counted the evil Alister Crowley as member and founder. That's how they became friends in the first place. People actually think they're spiritually evolved because they "understand" the message of this literature, but intellectual apprehension of the meaning shouldn't be mistaken for spiritual insight. If people had spiritual insight, something would be stirred in them to make them question the origins and intentions of the literature they read, the shows they watch, the preachers they listen to, the doctrines they hold, and the traditions they follow because millions (billions!) of others do, or because it's part of their culture. We need to listen to Christ's warnings about being watchful, about deception, about our vulnerability once we stray outside Scripture. He told us that many would preach a false Christ. He told us that they would be very deceptive. He told us to beware of counterfeits. Satan is much cleverer than you and me, and that's why God wants us to cling to Him and His Word with faith that He, and He alone, can show us the Truth, through Christ. This is no criticism of John Lennox. If I was an atheist, I'd be more likely to convert to Christianity after listening to Lennox speak than I would after reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, or the Chronicles of Narnia.

Richard Dawkins makes a lot of money from C R Darwin. John Lennox makes a lot of money from C S Lewis. J H Christ made the Romans a bit upset.

I wonder was L.S Lewis saved or not. As i understood he was a smoker, that does not look good, so he might have been an intellectual christian but never a true believer.
