A lot has been said about C.S. Lewis the writer, the professor, the theologian, the apologist. But what about C.S. Lewis the friend? Joseph Kohm has written extensively about the surprising, yet tragic, friendship between Lewis and his childhood pal, Arthur Greeves.
On today’s episode of the Great Stories podcast, Kohm joins David Wollen to discuss how Lewis considered friendship to be the chief source of happiness—and his friendship with Greeves lasted for half a century. This conversation also covers Lewis’ life story, the unique approach he took to defending Christianity, and how his words continue to speak to us in our modern world.
Whether you are a longtime fan of Lewis’ writing or you’re just wanting to learn more about his life and work, this conversation will likely shed new light on one of Christianity’s most beloved writers.
