All About Jack: A C.S. Lewis Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

IN THIS REPEAT - Dr. Hal Poe shares about his bio on the early life of C.S. Lewis in Becoming C.S. Lewis. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How well do you know C.S. Lewis? You probably don't know Jack as well as you think, until you know his early life. Or more accurately, nearly all of Lewis' interests and tastes were formed in his first twenty years. That is the new book by Dr. Harry Lee (Hal) Poe, entitled Becoming C.S. Lewis examines these early years and shows how his youth influenced his later life and writings. This podcast interview features Dr. Poe explaining how he came to write this book (the first of three) and why knowing Jack Lewis (his friends called him "Jack") is best understood by exploring his formative years.

IN THIS REPEAT: Biography on Warren Lewis (brother of C.S. Lewis) written by Don King.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inkling, Historian, Soldier, and Brother: A Life of Warren Hamilton Lewis (released January 2023) by Don King provides a detailed look at C.S. Lewis’s brother. In this podcast interview with William O’Flaherty, Don talks about the first-ever full biography of the man known as “Warnie” to his friends. While the focus is on Warnie, there are insights into C.S. Lewis that nature comes up. As the title notes, Warnie lived an interesting life that included being a soldier, author of historical books and an Inkling!
