    #253 Alister McGrath LIVE: The CS Lewis You Never Knew: Exploring meaning, truth and technology (Q&A)

    16/03/2026 | 25 mins.
    Ruth Jackson is joined by Alister McGrath for a special live edition of The C.S. Lewis Podcast, recorded in front of an audience at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, in association with the New Renaissance Project. In this lively Q&A, Ruth and Alister open the floor to audience questions on the life, thought and legacy of C.S. Lewis. They explore Lewis’s impact beyond the West, whether meaning found in other religions points to truth, what Lewis may have got wrong, and why his ideas still matter today. The conversation also touches on Tolkien’s influence, the power of story, Lewis’s scepticism about technology, the lasting effects of war, favourite books, and the challenge of adapting Narnia for film. A fascinating live conversation for Lewis fans old and new.

    #251 Alister McGrath LIVE: The CS Lewis You Never Knew: Exploring meaning, truth and technology (part 2)

    02/03/2026 | 21 mins.
    For today’s special episode, Ruth is joined by Alister McGrath for part 2 of a live event recording of the CS Lewis Podcast, captured in front of an audience. In this episode, the conversation dives into one of the most pressing questions of our time: truth. Is belief in God necessary for discovering truth? Why does it matter whether Christianity is true? And how might CS Lewis respond to today’s culture wars, technological challenges, and debates about meaning and morality?
    Drawing on Lewis’ insights and McGrath’s scholarship, they explore how truth shapes identity, purpose, and the way we navigate uncertainty in the modern world. The discussion illuminates why Lewis’ ideas remain so compelling—and so relevant—today.
    This programme was made in partnership with the New Renaissance Project at Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford.

About The C.S. Lewis podcast

A weekly podcast from Premier Unbelievable? with Professor Alister McGrath exploring C.S. Lewis’ thought, theology and teaching. C.S. Lewis is one of the most influential voices in modern Christianity. The 20th Century British writer and lay theologian has profoundly impacted Christians around the world and brought many atheists and agnostics to faith in Jesus. One person whose faith was greatly encouraged by the writings of C.S. Lewis is Professor Alister McGrath. Both men were raised in Northern Ireland, studied at Oxford University and went on to become professors there. They also both came to faith from atheism slightly later in life. Alister has written numerous books on C.S. Lewis, including a seminal biography C.S. Lewis – A Life. Every Monday, Ruth Jackson and Professor Alister McGrath will reflect on C.S. Lewis’ ideas, life and influence as well as trying to answer questions that impact culture today.
