Episode 3 ~ Origins: Lewis's On-Air Introduction and the 1942 Preface

“It’s not because I’m anybody in particular that I’ve been asked to tell you what Christians believe. In fact it’s just the opposite.” Lewis's opening words here reflect his conviction that connecting with his audience right away was key to earning the right to be heard. Much like Jesus’s “Come and see” approach early in John’s Gospel, Lewis deliberately establishes a tone and approach and connection which is quite disarming. Join us as we explore why this opening matters so deeply.
