It may be difficult for you to consider C.S. Lewis as being neglected in any way. After all, who hasn't heard of his Narnia books? He's also known for such titles as The Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity. What could possibly be neglected? Plenty! Those who only know about Lewis because of his Narnia books usually are unaware he wrote well-respected scholarly books. In this podcast episode, I spoke with Mark Neal and Jerry Root about what they consider as some of the most overlooked written by Lewis.

If you are a serious C.S. Lewis fan, you likely know and love The Chronicles of Narnia, the Ransom Trilogy, and apologetics books such as Mere Christianity. But have you read The Discarded Image or An Experiment in Criticism? In this week's episode, Dr. Jerry Root discusses his latest book, The Neglected C.S. Lewis, with Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing. Jerry Root explains what we can learn about C.S. Lewis by reading his neglected works, especially those on literary criticism, and how those insights can illuminate Lewis's popular fiction.

Over the last week, people have been turning to our authors, especially Lewis, for wisdom about how to live in this new coronavirus age. We felt like it was important to slow things down this week and ask, "what would our authors say in a situation like this?" Many of them, like Lewis, Tolkien, and Sayers, lived through two world wars and the Spanish Flu. Join Crystal and David as they sit down with our close friend Jerry Root to discuss how the Wade authors might respond to this global crisis.

This teaching is from Dr. Jerry Root from our recent Group Leadership Summit. In this message Dr. Root makes the strong case for trusting and relying on the Holy Spirit as our source in evangelism. For more information on groups at Council Road visit councilroad.church/groups
