C.S. Lewis, a British writer and lay theologian, has left an indelible mark on Christian thought and literature. Known for his works such as 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and 'Mere Christianity,' Lewis excelled in storytelling and apologetics, making complex theological concepts accessible to a broad audience. His logical arguments, like the famous 'trilemma' in 'Mere Christianity,' challenge readers to seriously consider the claims of Christ. However, Lewis's legacy is not without its controversies. His views on Scripture, which suggest a more nuanced understanding rather than strict inerrancy, have raised questions among evangelicals. Additionally, his perspectives on inclusivism and universalism, as seen in 'The Last Battle' and 'The Great Divorce,' diverge from traditional evangelical beliefs. Despite these issues, Lewis's contributions continue to inspire and educate, offering valuable insights into faith, suffering, and the human condition.

C.S. Lewis is synonymous with evangelical Christianity. Was he an evangelical though? In this episode, Greg and Nathan take a look at the problem with claiming Lewis as an evangelical. Check out the podcast and let us know what you think. Don't forget to check us out on YouTube now too.

Is the Bible enough for a Christian's spiritual journey? This question often arises among believers, especially those new to the faith. While the Bible is God's complete and infallible revelation, our understanding and application of its teachings can benefit from additional resources. Ephesians 4 highlights the roles of apostles, prophets, shepherds, teachers, and pastors in the church, emphasizing the importance of communal learning. Books by Christian authors serve as 'never-dying teachers,' providing timeless wisdom and insights that can guide us in our spiritual journey. Some may argue that the Bible alone should suffice, but additional resources can help us understand and apply its teachings more effectively. For example, John Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress' and C.S. Lewis's 'Mere Christianity' have provided valuable insights for generations of believers. However, it's essential to discern the relevance and impact of these resources in today's context, considering factors like the author's life and current relevance. By incorporating these principles into our lives, we can enrich our spiritual journey and gain a deeper understanding of God's Word.--Keywords: Bible, Christian growth, spiritual journey, Ephesians 4, communal learning, Christian authors, Pilgrim's Progress, Mere Christianity, John Bunyan, C.S.
