C.S. Lewis Vintage Broadcast Talks
Imagine you live in a flat in London, and it’s 1941.
It’s night. As you hear the now familiar drone of propellers, you brace yourself. Within minutes, bombs drop from the skies and explosions erupt.
You feel helpless, hopeless, and an overwhelming sense of impending doom.
When at last it’s quiet, you fumble your way to the radio. Your hand shakes as you turn it on and dial in the station.
Suddenly, a calm, reassuring voice fills the room.
You listen to an amazing message, the first of what will be a series of radio broadcast talks. This one is titled: “Right and Wrong: A clue to the meaning of the universe.”
His words mesmerize you. They sound sensible, down-to-earth, yet profound.
The speaker’s name is C.S. Lewis.

We found it so inspiring that we created the Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal that you can use in your homeschool as a unit study or elective:
