S2E12 Christmas — "Some Thoughts" (Part 1‪)‬ Lesser-Known Lewis

Exploring C. S. Lewis' 1948 article "Some Thoughts" where he explores the Christian paradox — that we sometimes affirm this present world and sometimes deny it as we look forward to a better, resurrected world. In this episode, we focus on the half of the paradox that is grounded in the Good News of Jesus' incarnation (that God became man). Here we let Lewis be our guide to see why Christmas is such good news for this present world and how we can celebrate it well! (We’ll save the other half of the paradox for Lent).  

NOTE: Our second part of this essay is found a few episodes later ⁠S2E15 Lent — "Some Thoughts" (Part 2)

Here's a link to Bishop Robert Barron's episode on "Stoicism and Christianity" that we mentioned.

Camille Parkman's song, "Deliverer / O Come O Come Emmanuel" can be found on Spotify and other music platforms for purchase or streaming.
