Customer Reviews
Great Podcast Photo
I’ve enjoyed listening to this podcast. You know a C.S. Lewis podcast that kicks it off with Pilgrim’s Regress is legit. Keep it up! - Men with Chests
Love it
I get so excited when I see they’ve posted a new episode! I love listening to them and have learned so much about Lewis. It’s great hearing others fanboy about Lewis too.
Anglicans do not believe in purgatory
In the podcast concerning Lewis’s Reflection on the Psalms, the discussion indicated that Lewis appears to have believed in purgatory because he was Anglican. While some Anglo-Catholics may believe in purgatory, Article 22 of the Articles of Religion (also know as the Thirty-Nine Articles) for the Church of England state that the “Romish Doctrine concerning Purgatory . . . [is] repugnant to the Word of God.” The Anglican Formularies (the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the Book of Homilies, the Articles of Religion, and the Ordinal) are fully Protestant.
