For love loves unto purity.

Therefore all that is not beautiful in the beloved,

all that comes between and is not of love's kind must be destroyed.

And our God is a consuming fire.

This is Pints With Jack, season seven, episode 37.

McDonald's Month.

Reading George.

After hours with Jess Laderman.

Welcome, everyone.

Here on Pints with Jack, we're reading our way to the works of C.S. Lewis.

But this month, we've been

looking at Lewis's self-confessed master, George MacDonald. We began this month by looking at

his biographical details, and since then I've been interviewing guests about George's life

and thought. But today is the penultimate episode of McDonald's month.

Next episode, we're going to be discussing Lewis's anthology.

So Lewis put together an anthology for George McDonald, and I'll be discussing that with

my co-hosts and a special guest.

But what I'd really like to do in today's episode is to offer some guidance listeners as to how they

might proceed in diving into the works of George McDonald's.

But since I don't know McDonald that well, my advice would be pretty limited.

Fortunately, I'm joined today by someone who does know McDonald very well, Mr. Jess Laderman.

Jess Laderman is a graduate of Columbia University.
