What if everything we think we know about reality is only part of the story? Could the stories we dismiss as fantasy actually reveal something true about the world? And have we become so accustomed to seeing life in a particular way that we’re missing something extraordinary?
C.S. Lewis scholar Alister McGrath joins Ruth Jackson to explore why Lewis believed stories could challenge our assumptions about reality, break the spell of a purely materialist worldview and help us see the world in a completely different way.
From ordinary children discovering an extraordinary world to Lewis’ conviction that our lives are part of a much bigger story, they explore why imagination can sometimes communicate things that arguments alone cannot.
Plus, with Greta Gerwig bringing The Magician’s Nephew to the screen, what happens when a beloved book becomes a film? How much can a filmmaker change before the original story loses something essential? And why do Lewis’ stories continue to capture our imaginations more than 70 years later?
