The Eagle and Child, Episode 13.

Mere Christianity. Book 3, Chapter 2, The Cardinal Virtues.

Hello, and welcome to the Eagle and Child, the hallow pub of the Inklings.

This is a podcast where each week, my friend Matt and I share a beer, and hallowed pub of the Inclings. This is a podcast where each week,

my friend Matt and I share a beer, and we discuss the writings of the author known to the

world as Clive Staples Lewis, or C.S. Lewis, or just as Jack to his friends. My name is David,

and today we're looking at the cardinal virtues. As always, I'm joined by the very epitome of prudence,

temperance, justice, and fortitude. My friend Matt. You're too kind, David. But I want to make a

prediction here before we get into this chapter. By the end of it, after we go through the definitions

of prudence, temperance, justice, and fortitude, are the feeling you might retract that

statement. We'll see. I appreciate your confidence. And before getting into the weekly quote,

which I know everyone is very excited for, when we do these podcasts, I keep the mic on a stack of books

to make sure it reaches my height. And just to highlight the person David Bates is,

I'm going to share with you guys the titles of some of the books

that David just has laying around in his room.

Because you're all wondering how he's so intelligent on this podcast.

It's the accent.

We've already established this.

He pretends it's the accent.

Wait to hear what these books are.

Hems and homilies of St.

Ephraim. Ephraim, yeah. Ephraim the Syrian. He's another church father. Summa of the summa.
