Hi, this is Graham Donaldson, co-host of Classical Stuff You Should Know, and you're listening to Pints with Jack.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe grew out of Lewis's experience of being stung back into childhood by his defeat at the hands of Elizabeth Anscombe at the Socratic Club.

It awakened all sorts of deeply seated fears in

Lewis, not least his fear of women. Once the bullying hero of the hour had been cut down to size,

he became a child, a little boy who was being degraded and shaken by a figure who, in his imagination,

took on witch-like dimensions. This is Pints with Jack, season 6, episode 41.

The Case for Aslan, After Hours with David Marshall.

Welcome everyone. Here on Pints with Jack, we are reading our way through the works of C.S. Lewis.

And at the moment, we are in Narnia Month. And today's opening quotation comes from the pretty

notorious C.S. Lewis biography by A.N. Wilson. And I quote it because this is addressed in a very

interesting way by today's book,

The Case for Aslan, Evidence for Jesus in the Land of Narnia,

which is a book endorsed by two former guests of the show, Dr. John G. West and Dr. Louis

Marcos. Did Lewis retreat into stories because he was humiliated in a debate?

Well, we'll find out about that and much more

in today's interview with David Marshall. David Marshall is a writer and a teacher. He blogs over at

Christ the Dow and has spent a good chunk of his life living in China. He's written many books,

such as how Jesus passes the outside test, the inside story, and the faith-seeking

understanding anthology. But he is here today to talk about the case for Aslan, evidence for

Jesus in the land of Narnia. David Marshall, welcome to Pites for Jack.

Thank you. Any friend of C.S. Lois is a friend of mine, so good to meet you.

Yes, and we were chatting before. You're currently
