All About Jack: A C.s. Lewis Podcast

IN THIS REPEAT: The first of a two-part round table discussion of The Hobbit - The book vs. The movies In book form The Hobbit has been available for nearly 80 years, but the third and final movie installment was just released late last year. No one suggests the three films are perfect adaptations, but how far off do they really miss the mark? William O’Flaherty is joined by Dr. Charlie Starr, Dr. Crystal Hurd and Brenton Dickieson to discuss whether or not one can still enjoy the movies despite their imperfections. This FIRST of two part discussion starts off with considering whether or not the three movies as a whole are better than the individual parts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Purchase The Hobbit (book) Visit Dr, Charlie Starr's Website Visit Dr, Crystal Hurd's Website Visit A Pilgrim in Narnia (Brenton's Website) Listen to All About Jack on iTunes Purchase C.S.

IN THIS REPEAT: This is the single interview done with Dr. Devin Brown about his book The Christian World of The Hobbit. I also did a five part series on his book.   PLEASE NOTE: This stand-alone interview was recorded before the FIVE part series on the book was created.   Devin Brown has written several books dealing with The Chronicles of Narnia, and just releasing next month is The Christian World of The Hobbit. Devin is a Professor of English at Asbury University in Kentucky. William O'Flaherty had a chance to speak with him recently about the new book and some issues related to C.S. Lewis.   Purchase The Christian World of The Hobbit Visit EssentialCSLewis.com Visit Sørina Higgins's Iambic Admonit Website Visit Sehnsucht: The C.S. Lewis Journal Page

IN THIS REPEAT:  A chat with Drs. Don King and Hal Poe on writing.   What can a person learn about how to improve one's writing from C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien? That was the subject Dr. Don King and Dr. Hal Poe addressed in a session I moderated to kick off a Creative Writing Festival held for high school students at Montreat College on March 31, 2017. This was held just prior to the start of and apart from the Inklings Fellowship Weekend Retreat. At the last minute it ended up being recorded and the results were better than expected, so I thought I'd share the enjoyable time I had with Don and Hal chatting about Lewis and Tolkien in relation to writing. Note that below is are links to an online list of Lewis' works as well as a handout that Dr. King makes reference to that you might find useful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See List of Lewis' Writings (online) Handout from Dr. Don King (download Word file) Visit Inklings Fellowship Website Listen to Previous Interviews with Dr. Don King List
