Good theology must exist, if for no other reason, because bad theology needs to be answered.

This is Pints with Jack, season 5, episode 68. Deeper Magic. After Hours with Dr. Donald Williams.

Hello and welcome to Pints with Jack, your weekly C.S. Lewis podcast where David, Matt, and I

break down and discuss the works of C.S. Lewis. Today's quotation is actually a co-opting of a line

found in learning in wartime, where Lewis actually

talked about good philosophy. But we're mentioning theology today because it's our pleasure to welcome

to the show, Dr. Donald T. Williams, the author of Deeper Magic, the theology behind the

writings of C.S. Lewis.

Dr. Williams is the Professor Emeritus at Toccoa Falls College, where he was R.A. Forest Scholar for many years in the hills of Northeast Georgia.

As a dual citizen of Narnia and Middle Earth, Dr. Williams is a border dweller, permanently camped out on the borders between serious scholarship and pastoral ministry, theology and literature, preaching and teaching, Christianity and culture.

Best known as an inkling scholar and Christian apologist, Dr. Williams is the author of 13 books, including Deeper Magic.

Dr. Williams, welcome to Pints with Jack.

Ellen C. La Lumaumann Omentiovo, a star shines on the hour of our meeting.

Ah, amen.

Good to be here.

We're grateful to have you join us, and I'm particularly grateful to renew our acquaintance.

We first met in, oh, my goodness, 2016, I think it was, at the 47th MythCon.

It might have been there, yes.

In fact, I remember where you were sitting when I gave my keynote address.

And your smile that day was a great encouragement.

Good.

So you have just retired from Toccoa Falls?
