Pints with Jack, season four, episode 61.

After Hours, the Barfield Buffet, Part 2.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the final episode of Barfield Month.

Having all of these guests on the show this past month,

has only really just confirmed for me that while there are some rather strange-sounding

ideas from Barfield, he also has some ideas which are really quite fascinating and

well worth further exploration. We began to wrap up Barfield Month last week by hosting a Barfield buffet.

We had Dr. Charlie Star, Landon Lofton, Dr. Troy Vine, Dr. Max Lafe, and Dr. Michael D. Fuchsia.

Today, we head to the dessert tray to wrap up this buffet. We have just three interviews today.

The first two are about different books that Barfield wrote.

The first is on saving the appearances.

The second is on poetic diction.

And the last interview is a reflection from Gabriel Schenk.

You might recognize this voice from the Walter Hooper tribute, which we hosted a few months ago.

Gabriel wraps up Barfield Month for us by telling us a little bit about his own Barfieldian journey and then

talks about his work with the Owen Barfield Literary Estate on Owen Barfield.org.

Not wanting to skip a quote of the week, today's comes from Barfield's Worlds Apart.

He writes,

The obvious is the hardest thing of all to point out to anyone who has genuinely lost sight of it.

I've got my cup of tea, so let's get on to today's guests.

First up is Dr. Louis Marcos. Louis Marcus is professor in English and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University

and holds the Robert H. Ray Chair in Humanities.
