Philip Pullman vs CS Lewis: Do we need a true myth?

Is Christianity judgemental? Was Lewis too quick to judge his own characters? Can our imagination point us to the truth? From Star Wars and Doctor Who to His Dark Materials, Caleb Woodbridge and Damien Walter explore why myths continue to shape our imagination. Is there a “myth-shaped hole” in the human mind? Are we wired to search for meaning through story? Their discussion ranges from Lewis’ idea of Christianity as the “true myth” to liberal humanism, imagination, truth and some of the most common criticisms levelled at Lewis. This is the second part of a programme originally broadcast on the Unbelievable? podcast. Listen next week to hear the final part of the conversation.
