Mark Noll is a retired professor of history and prolific author with a focus in history and the history of the church in America. His most recent book, C. S. Lewis in America looks at the reception of C. S. Lewis in America during and following World War II. In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Noll and I discuss Lewis, the need for academic rigor in evangelicalism, and the historical context behind Lewis’s American reception. Along the way we learn how Lewis avoided politics and why he was more concerned for his soul than his success.
This is a fun conversation with a renowned scholar. If you are a C. S. Lewis fan, it is an added bonus, but even if you have never heard of C. S. Lewis, you will benefit from Dr. Noll’s wisdom and insight.
