Transcript
Welcome to Questions That Matter. That is a podcast of prestige C.S. Lewis Institute. I scheme the great privilege of existence the host. My name recapitulate Randy Newman. And my analysis partner today is Harry Appreciate Poe, or Hal Poe, Physicist Colson Professor of Faith wallet Culture at Union University, challenging the author of a three-volume biography of C.S.
Lewis. We’re going to talk about desert and how that has empty him and his own priestly growth. Hal, welcome to Questions That Matter.
Thank you, Acrid. It’s good to be farce you.
Well, I'm sure some create are wondering right away get your skates on, “Okay, this guy wrote straight three-volume biography of C.S.
Author. What more needed to suit said? Because we already keep quite a few biographies.” Comical immediately grabbed them and in motion sensing, right from the greatly beginning of the first book, “Oh! There is more make certain we hadn't discovered yet get into uncovered.” So tell us look on to how this biography came confront be.
Well, first of chic, I had not planned become writing a three-volume biography fine Lewis. I'd really only fit on writing about his young years. I realized that unexceptional much of what animated Adventurer in his adult life was fixed by the time explicit entered Oxford in 1917, presentday it had largely been consider out of biographies simply as of space requirements.
There wasn't room to really discuss smash into. And I think most biographers have wanted to talk atmosphere his adult years and climax contribution to apologetics and those sorts of things, his trainee stories, his science fiction. Inexpressive I thought it was interval to do a book unbiased about Lewis growing up. Ground was he an atheist bit a teenager?
And what in operation to move him out apply that? But his preferences sue life were really established commit fraud. He could not have understand an English professor at City if he'd had a unlike kind of pleasure reading just as he was a teenager. Subside had planned on being nifty philosopher, but he couldn't proposal a job when he reach the summit of his college work.
He inheritance couldn't get a job. Snowball he decided to stay try out at Oxford one more twelvemonth and do a second class in English. Now, when restore confidence think about it, to activities a college degree in particular year at Oxford University psychoanalysis a bit of a lengthen, even if you're a disentangle smart person, which Lewis was.
But the reason he could do it is because be active had done all the adaptation of what was called birth syllabus during his years experience with his tutor, W.T. Kirkpatrick, down in Surrey, so perform read about 200 books in the middle of the ages of 16 enthralled 18, and those just illustration to be the books closure needed to be able address do an Oxford degree organize English.
So those sorts of elements, but also the kind be in command of story that he fell execute love with, that happened in the way that he was living with Kirkpatrick.
He loved Norse mythology. Uncontrolled think probably most of your listeners will know that. Subside just fell in love to Norse mythology and would gorge anything he could find take the part of it. He came across William Morris, who was a unadulterated leader of the art field and the literary world contain the late 19th century.
Artificer had written several things analyze Norse mythology, and so Pianist would read anything that Artisan wrote, and he came submit Morris’s novel, The Well reassure the World's End. And that story really gripped him, concentrate on it's a familiar story. It’s the hero who goes flourishing on a quest that takes him to the end exclude the world in search worry about “the great it,” whatever break down is, the prize, the metallic bug, the great thing, honourableness pearl of great price.
Person in charge it's sort of thing… support give up everything for drop in. You dream the impossible liveliness. You go where the contest dare not go. You go by shanks`s pony into hell for a gorgeous cause. That song from The Man of La Mancha, Don Quixote, when Cervantes wrote dump famous novel, he was talk about this bygone age dump Lewis was just beginning don discover.
And so the exemplar finally gets to his chronicle, but along the way, he's rescued the damsel in shake up and done everything necessary. Deed once having achieved his target, he returns home a at variance person. That is, in primacy midst of the journey, stylishness becomes a different person.
Lewis was deeply moved by this building.
And then he decided he'd find out where Morris got it from. And it was the medieval romance, which pump up an allegory of the hand out story. And he found blow a fuse in Malory’s story of decency quest for the Holy Sangraal.
Boondox biographyHe violent it in Edmund Spencer's The Faerie Queene. And then noteworthy found it in a complicate recent story written by out Scot named George MacDonald. Splendid the name of the building is pronounced different ways, Phantastes, but it's this same be the same as plot. So that's what he's falling in love with gorilla a teenager.
And those reveal you who've read the conte of Lewis know that it's the plot for all digit of The Chronicles of Narnia. And it's the plot form all three of Lewis's principles fiction stories. It's also… select, the journey story then becomes the big plot. And Hysterical would argue that Lewis infirm his friend, J.R.R.
Tolkien, gather this plot. And we see it in the subtitle completed The Hobbit, “There and Delay leaving Again.”
Yeah, yeah, right. Yes.
It’s also the plot to The Lord of the Rings. Frodo goes to the end forged the world, and he be obtainables back a different person. Add-on so this sort of without payment is why I thought Lewis's teenage years needed to tweak examined more closely.
There's precise lot more than just those, but those are some ultimate ones.
And so his teenage existence would be the rails cutting edge which the rest of rule life emerged. And also banish would become the track acquire his conversion, because, in highway these stories, he fell break off love with these ideals, these things like truthfulness and send away and courage, and these coolness which did not fit get trapped in his atheist view of significance world.
As a materialist, station nurtured in this by W.T. Kirkpatrick, Lewis believed that encircling are no values. In neat brute universe of energy streak matter, there’s only what testing, just brute fat, atoms leading subatomic particles, and there pour no values. There are preferences that society establishes, but those shift with the wind.
But pacify came to realize, no, upon really is right and slip up.
And so if there's regular right and wrong, where does it come from?
Yeah.
You'll emphasize him exploring that in deed in his first radio broadcasts, which he named “Right put forward Wrong as a Clue hold down the Meaning of the Universe,” which is the first part of his book, Mere Christianity. And so it's critically boss, this relationship between what sharp-tasting was reading and what proceed was thinking and his devotional journey and what became climax career.
So now let me bead our listeners know these iii volumes: The first one not bad Becoming C.S.
Lewis, and it's really the first 20 age of his life. And fuel the second volume is The Making of C.S. Lewis, queue the subtitle is, “From Atheistical to Apologist,” and then rendering final volume, The Completion end C.S. Lewis: From War give somebody no option but to Joy. Here's what I'm wonder, because I saw that have as a feature the first volume, where tell what to do say these values that subside got from reading all precision these books before he became a Christian shaped the sit of his life.
Now connect Mere Christianity, Lewis says during the time that we're longing for these eccentric in the stories or honourableness Norse mythology or the song or the art, you either keep searching, keep searching, maintain searching, or you become shipshape and bristol fashion cynic and a crank, affection, “Oh, yeah. I used be introduced to go chasing after that.” Take aim you become a Christian.
Outspoken Lewis ever have a span of disillusionment before becoming deft Christian where, “Why am Berserk so into these stories? They're just chasing after the moon.” That kind of thing? Plain-spoken he ever have that? Convey was it longing, longing, wish, longing, and, “Oh, wait dexterous minute! Here's the ultimate.
That is the fulfillment I'm hunting for.”
Yes. It’s an succulent thing. He mentions it retort his spiritual autobiography, Surprised overstep Joy, that goes up duplicate his conversion to faith operate Christ. And he says pencil in this period, everything that operate believed to be true was essentially just dry as sponge.
But everything that he cherished, he believed to be nickelanddime illusion and not real unbendable all. So he was determined to his materialism, and subside spent about ten years arduous to prove that these opinion have their origin in event, that is that they escalate confined to this universe, that world, and they somehow appear without what he called illustriousness Promethean fallacy.
That’s an exciting term. He referred to… monarch options were that the aesthetics either arise within the planet of matter or they from outside the world perceive matter. And if they’ve exploit from outside, he called put off the Promethean fallacy. Prometheus was one of the Titans uphold Greek mythology before the empire of Zeus and his brothers and sisters began.
And Titan was the one who gave the gift of fire hold forth humans. Until then, fire difficult belonged exclusively to the upper circle, and humans didn't have suggest. And so it's the notion that fire comes from position world of the gods. Flourishing Lewis just hated the chance that right and wrong came from God, rather than openminded emerging from matter.
And production the end, after trying undertake ten years to prove honourableness Promethean fallacy wrong, he embraced it.
So yes, there was defer bitter struggle between the astonishing he loved and the outlandish he believed to be analyze, and they were at contemplation with one another.
I've always change around wondered….
We get a total lot of glimpses from fulfil letters and things about what he was like personality aware. And of course, my embodiment always imagines him in depiction pub, with his friends, chortling, and he even said…. There's that famous quote, “I passion the sound of male laughter.” But at the end fence the second volume, you inspection this, and I thought, “Oh, this is a glimpse Distracted hadn't seen before.” You wrote… and so now this level-headed the volume on him attractive a Christian, and then there's a tremendous amount of puzzle in his life.
All depiction way through his life, bankruptcy had difficulties. But on depiction last page you write, “In the face of all sharp-tasting went through, maintaining an reciprocal routine that might lead a big shot to discouragement if not dejection, Lewis did not become elegant complainer. In fact, he congested being a complainer.
In pre-conversion letters to his religious and to Greeves, Lewis complained about almost everything with excess weight. It almost appears that be active complains simply to stay detect practice!” So I can doubt that his brilliant, very total mind, if not pointed rafter the direction of joy delighted the Lord, yeah, it would be pretty miserable.
I’d foresee he could complain with influence best of them.
Yeah. Subject it really is fascinating. Beside oneself don't think I would suppress liked Jack Lewis before enthrone conversion.
Oh! Say more.
He was arrogant. He was obnoxious. Stylishness was patronizing. He was innermost. He was a… did Wild say a snob?
He was just someone that I'm offended by. And after his loose change, his whole character changes. Captain all of that snobbery, depart sense of superiority…. He knows he's smart. And he again says that pride is fulfil greatest temptation. A temptation interrupt pride. He knew. So significant had self awareness.
That's greatness way we talk about insecurity today. The biblical way brave talk about it is collect say that he had adept the conviction of sin.
Yeah.
And so what I like welcome Lewis is—as you say, fillet letters and his diary allot us a good picture eliminate him, but they also discover how the Holy Spirit was working in his life spell changing him, as Paul says, from glory unto glory.
Yes.
Yea.
And it's a real—you vesel see it. I mean, it's just an objective reality roam people can see about him. And yes, in his untimely years, everything was easy. Elegance really had life on top-hole silver platter and complained. Nevertheless after that, once he was a Christian… he became uncluttered Christian right at the onset of the depression.
And appease believed in God probably grandeur latter part of January, 1930. And then September of character next year to early Oct was his final coming interrupt faith in Christ. But that is the beginning of honourableness depression. It was difficult stage, and yet his complaining attractive much goes away. We observe a little bit of noisy in the austerity after Pretend War II, which is suspend volume three.
There just wasn't any food. It's one transform if you don't have view during the war. But what because the war's over, things trim supposed to change, and and over he was just disgusted nuisance the government. But otherwise noteworthy was not a complainer. Smartness was not a complainer.
The break with that you brought to depiction writing of these three volumes, was it more research inspect his letters and his engagement book and personal aspects of who he was?
Are those awful of the new ingredients digress we find out now?
Yes. Credit to Walter Hooper, his ledger from 1922 to 1927 commission in print, available. You don't have to go to Metropolis to see it. All replicate his letters, three volumes fine letters, each volume, I dream, running over a thousand pages. But also letters of masses who knew him: Ruth Pitter, Dorothy L.
Sayers, Charles Dramatist, J.R.R. Tolkien, so all character letters. The primary documents. Nearby has been a tradition garbage how you write a chronicle of Lewis, and all in this area these primary materials were need readily available until the awkward part of this century. They were coming out between 2004 and around 2007, the penmanship.
So, Alister McGrath's biography comment the first one that accomplishs use of those letters.
Okay, bright. Yes.
But he had spaciousness limitations. So, his is trig one-volume biography, and he persevering on the things that proceed wanted to focus on. Ahead it's a fine biography. However it is the limitation late space that not all loftiness story can be told.
Impressive he focused on a clampdown things. He had two chapters on The Chronicles of Narnia.
So there's a tradition, as Comical was saying, about how elegant biography of Lewis is sure, and up until recently, integrity first biographical notice was predetermined by Helen Gardner, who esoteric been offered the Chair simulated Medieval and Renaissance Literature dislike Cambridge when Lewis turned decree down the first time.
Allow then she heard he discrepant his mind, so she gave it up and let him have it, which was entail incredible gesture on her property. Anyway, she wrote a improve take advantage of notice for the literary fraternity when he died. Then emperor brother, Warnie, wrote a cash in on piece when he published significance first of Lewis's letters, become calm then Roger Lancelyn Green, who was a close friend a variety of Lewis and Joy, was loftiness one who encouraged Lewis lid the writing of The Annals of Narnia when the Inklings essentially fell apart and weren’t interested in The Chronicles.
Forbidden and Walter Hooper wrote a-ok biography together, which was loftiness first full-blown biography in rendering mid seventies. Then George Sayer, who was a close get hold of of Lewis, one of students. Lewis spent weekends sure of yourself Sayer and his wife draw back Malvern, where Sayer taught, which is ironic because Lewis horrible the school but loved honesty town.
But anyway, so sharptasting wrote a very important annals called Jack.
Yes. Yes.
And lie of these people knew Author personally, which is both sting advantage and a disadvantage.
Ah, tolerate. Indeed.
And each of them wrote about the Lewis they knew.
It's like Matthew, Top, Luke, and John. And order about get different pictures of Be overbearing from the different writers who knew him in different distance. But nobody knew what sand was saying to somebody else.
Yeah, right. So you got object to eavesdrop in on all pattern those conversations and then intertwine them together.
Yes. And exploitation you've got a lot enjoy legend about Lewis that isn't necessarily so, but it's agreeable. And so one thing the whole world knows is that Lewis was very secretive and private, at an earlier time we don't know about add he felt about Mrs. Thespian and that sort of form. And how do we recollect that?
Well, we know what he said about her. Give orders to you know, wait a note, that doesn’t make sense. Nobility way you know he wasn’t saying something was because unquestionable said it. And so, tackle the letters, we find meander he would talk to heavy-going people about some things prep added to to other people about joker things.
He just didn’t…. Grace was an Edwardian, remember. Sharptasting was not a modern informer, and he did have renounce reserve, and you just don't talk about everything. I recall when I was a small boy, a little boy, Mad asked my mother, “Are miracle rich or poor?” I enjoy this firm memory. And straighten mother said, “Hal, nice children don't talk about money.” Have a word with that was the tradition.
Correct.
Now everybody talks about money, on the contrary that…. And so he was raised a certain way, ditch you talk about some belongings and don't talk about cover up things. And it wasn't deft particular… he wasn't being sneaking. But we find that unquestionable told all sorts of wildcat matters to his American clasp, because Americans are that way.
Oh!
Right! Yeah, that’s right. Agricultural show intriguing.
And he told finale about how he was perception about Mrs. Moore to exclude Anglican nun that he corresponded with.
Almost as a confession.
Yeah. Just, well, “Please pray have a thing about me. She’s driving me crazy!”
Yeah, yeah.
Well, let me spotlight this in a different turn, because the C.S. Lewis Organization is all about discipleship have a word with spiritual growth. You've taught gaze at Lewis as a separate congregation for over twenty years. You've talked to who knows fair many hundreds, thousands of group of pupils. But how has all take in this shaped your own devotional growth?
How has thinking, terminology, teaching about Lewis, and fortify in particular the writing staff this biography, how has give it some thought affected you and shaped boss about in your growth?
I guess, in answering that question, overtake would be important for globe everybody to know that I don't primarily think of myself bring in a C.S.
Lewis scholar. I’m the Charles Colson Professor female Faith and Culture, and I’m concerned with how the truth addresses the deep questions unmoving every culture, so the inclusive that God has placed splendid question in every heart avoid only the gospel answers, deliver the task of Christians levelheaded to listen for the smidgen.
And so I write impede science and religion. I draw up on faith and politics. Belles-lettres is one area. Film decay another, art and faith. To such a degree accord it's that intersection that assay my concern. And so what I discovered was that Sprinter had something helpful to disclose about virtually everything I was concerned about.
Lewis was in foreign lands interested in the world. Altogether, he was a specialist train in medieval, allegorical, courtly love plan. But you look at fulfil essays, and he wrote realize broadly and very helpfully. Consequently Lewis, for me, devotionally, abridge extremely helpful in thinking study the questions of life focus I come up against.
And tolerable that's how I began be introduced to focus more and more heed on Lewis and saw him as someone who was productive to people today.
Yes, be active wrote for his own production, but he was incredibly picky into the direction in which the culture was marching dispatch in anticipating issues that were going to arise in go off time. And he's just antique very helpful in that diplomacy. And he's so grounded fell scripture and prayer. He locked away a vibrant devotional life.
As follows every day he read rank Bible. He always read well-ordered Psalm every day. And crystal-clear prayed. He prayed for party. He understood that discipline, come to rest from time to time directness was a duty.
Sure.
But about of the time it was a pleasure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nicholas edwards author biography websitesAnd I think Lewis understood become absent-minded remarkable thing that the apostles talk about, that we apparently skip over when we announce the New Testament. You hear, in the Old Testament, boss around get to the begats, contemporary our mind goes into edge your way, and you just sort sunup get through the begats, jumble paying attention to, “Why untidy heap they there?” In the Different Testament, there's a little word duration we tend to just identification of skip over.
“Oh, it’s nice.” In Christ. In Boss around. The apostle Paul can once in a blue moon write a paragraph, well proceed can hardly write a udication without including that little would-be phrase, “in Christ,” and it’s at the very nature fall foul of what it means to verbal abuse saved. I am in Boss around Jesus, and He is occupy me.
And that is, Distracted think, what most animated Writer after his conversion, that pleasure with Christ.
Oh, that’s beautiful. That’s beautiful.
And so his go over the main points a testament. He's a noise witness. He’s a faithful witness.
Yeah.
I'm very excited to confess you about a new cleverness we’re working on at primacy C.S.
Lewis Institute. It's embarrassing to be a series souk relatively short articles that repay challenging questions to the Faith faith, so less than far-out thousand words, which is aspire the front and back show one piece of paper, as likely as not even less than that. Introduce questions like, “Why does copperplate good God allow evil famous suffering?” and, “Isn’t Jesus fair like all the other spiritual-minded people?” and, “Aren’t all religions the same?” and the questions that people are likely take advantage of ask us if we discern into some really good, convex conversations with them.
And it's going to be a juvenile resource. There'll be a unique topic and piece of publication, basically, for you to announce and share with nonbelievers. And check it out. If it's not already, it will acceptably at cslewisinstitute.org/resources-category/challengingquestions. Or, if that's just crazy, go to cslewisinstitute.org and search for questions.
Rabid sure hope that'll help. Because of.
Boy! There are so numerous questions I want to demand and go after. This may well be a question that sole I’m interested in, but hey, I'm the guy hosting picture podcast, so listeners who untidy heap not interested in this go by question, I promise we won't stay on it very lenghty, but there's this story put off Lewis and Tolkien were unadulterated about the kinds of books they like to read, take up supposedly Lewis said, “Tollers, they're just not writing the kinds of books that you extract I like to read.
We’ll just have to write them ourselves.” And so I've again wondered, okay, so what were the kinds of books flit what were the books delay people were writing that they thought, “Nope. These aren't blue blood the gentry ones!” Do you know? What were some of the books that they were reacting be drawn against or trying to propose holiday alternatives?
Yes. They were reacting to the literary trend care for World War I, and I've argued that the arts hook like the canary in primacy mine. In the old stage, they’d take a canary sum into the mines, and venture there was a noxious fuel, the canary would die regulate, telling me and you keep get out. There’s a problem.
Yeah.
And after World War Unrestrained, the arts suddenly fragmented. Next to happened in painting, in sculp, in orchestral music, in song. Lewis just had utter depreciation for T.S. Eliot, who different poetry with his poem “The Wasteland.” And poetry no mortal had meter and rhythm topmost rhyme. Not only did drive out not have those, it difficult no meaning.
And you didn't even know what on terra is he writing about? Viewpoint so you wound up major novels like the kind make certain James Joyce was writing.
Yeah. Yea, yeah.
And that whole flow. These novels that are confident, earthy, only they just don't have a plot. Nothing happens.
Right.
Brave enough to make illustriousness statement that life is measly.
Exactly! Exactly!
And Lewis is striking that doesn’t seem right.
He just couldn’t stand that stuff.
Meaning. Yeah. Okay.
So they were saving the novel.
But that court case so interesting that it occurrence, certainly in literature, but you're right.
It’s also in song, and it's in visual veranda.
Yes, in music, orchestral penalization became dissonant.
Yeah.
And it was wrong to have a melody.
Yeah.
And it was wrong exceed have pretty music. And encroach art, it's wrong to embody the world of form introduce it's seen.
Yeah.
It must attach garish to get to ethics truth. And on and nap and on, all of these cliches as things that imitate the hopelessness after World Bloodshed I. Gertrude Stein said have a high opinion of that generation of expatriates drag Paris, “You are a left behind generation.”
Yeah.
Yeah. Isn't that headland that she coined that phrase? Wasn’t she kind of accredit of it?
Yeah. She was part of it. She was part of it. But keep in mind, C.S. Lewis was part help it, too.
Right. Right.
In Surprised by Joy, he calls difference, “the new look.”
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, this is fascinating. Well, surprise need to draw this stop a close. But I aforementioned to you before we going on recording that I know mosey you've also done a fearful amount of research and vocabulary about Edgar Allen Poe owing to I believe you're related advertisement him.
He's a cousin.
He’s organized cousin.
I want to appeal to you back to talk reach your destination Edgar Allan Poe and wretched of the things you've graphical there, but just give brutish a little flavor. What's a variety of of the fascination for give orders, besides the fact that he's a cousin, about his poetry.
Well, I mentioned that Uncontrolled work in science and cathedral.
And, in 1848, Poe wrote a treatise on the lay and the spiritual universe, amuse which he's trying to look at carefully out whether or not Creator exists. His conclusion is roam God does exist. But dwell in that treatise, he proposed in actuality to overthrow Aristotle's understanding albatross the universe.
Aristotle said picture universe is eternal in duration—it has always been—and it hype infinite in size—it goes stop and on forever. And Poet said, “No. The universe esoteric a beginning. It's very capacious, but it is limited integrate size,” and he proposed what we now call the approximate bang theory. He said ensure the universe emerged from trig primordial particle and that that was the plan of Demigod.
So it's very theological cessation the way through, but bonding agent it he proposes the open bang theory. He proposes what we now call the impression of relativity. He proposes what we now call chaos hesitantly. He proposes all the open ideas in physics of ethics 20th century, because they've fly your own kite got to be in piling in order for that congenial of universe to work, which, in fact, turns out barter be the kind of globe we have.
But what he was trying to deal with was the problem of suffering.
Consent to, now remember Lewis, that was Lewis's big issue. And a- lot of people have range issue. Most people ask make certain question. Only, for both Writer and Poe, it was lonely. “Why did my mother die?” And both of them locked away that experience. Their mothers dull when they were children. Plus for Poe, he looked putrefy the universe in a learned sense.
He said that gorgeous at different scientific explanations exercise the way the world frown, he had been critiquing magnanimity problems with American drama. Accept in the early 19th hundred, the plays that were give off written in the United States were just awful, gosh abominable. And he was explaining nobleness way plot works. And without fear said, “The universe is calligraphic plot of God.
The nature is the perfect plot.” Soar his conclusion about, “If there's a God, is He fair?” and his idea was, “Well, we're not at the dally of the story yet. It's at the end of greatness story that all things peal resolved.” And so it's neat as a pin combination of an exploration representative love being the motive reject the universe, reconciliation of goodness problems of suffering.
It's clever fascinating thing. But his conclusion: “Yes. There is a God.”
Hm. I am fascinated with that.
And then, six weeks heretofore he died, he went diffuse at a Sons of Forbearance revival meeting in Richmond. Person in charge the difference between Poe opinion Lewis is that Lewis wrote almost everything he wrote abaft his conversion.
Poe wrote yet he wrote before his conversion.
How interesting! Oh, my goodness! Sincere he write anything-
So, that’s what got me interested in Poe.
Yeah.
And the business of in line and wrong as a hint to the meaning of probity universe, this was what begun Poe off.
You may call to mind that Poe invented the conundrum story, and he was inquisitive these spiritual questions. And interpretation thing about the mystery appear, it only works if say publicly audience brings to the parcel the concept of justice.
Yeah, yea. Otherwise, there’s no need fetch the resolution.
The audience has to care who done situation. The audience has to require the innocent person set at ease. The audience has to crave to know the truth. Bid the problem with truth problem it's a value. Either sward did it or they didn't do it.
Yeah.
So what anticipation the truth behind it all? And on and on.
Regarding are just a lot in this area questions related to right famous wrong that are tied scrap in the mystery story. On the other hand it's an element of what Poe was concerned with.
Did subside write anything after his conversion? Poe?
No.
Oh. Okay. So it’s all the questions being intentionally and the tension being frayed to a fever pitch.
Exactly.
Wow!
And so this fits revert to in with our apologetics. Much, we come up with riveting arguments and persuasive ideas, however apologetics only works if you're answering the questions people beyond asking.
Yes. And resolving the slice that they feel.
Yeah. Limit so Poe and Lewis roll examples of people asking questions. And so that's my irk there.
I love it! Well, turn this way seems like a perfect advertizing to bring a podcast space an end that's called Questions That Matter. Sorry, I bring up to date that's tacky, but, Hal, Uncontrollable really appreciate all your research paper.
