Sunday Series—Mere Christianity: A Conversation for the Common Hall – Book One, Chapter Four: What Lies Behind the Law

from The Bible Difficulties and Answers Podcast · host bibledifficultiesandanswers

In this episode Lance Smith walks through chapter 4 of C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity, examining the moral law and whether something like a mind or director lies behind the universe. He contrasts the materialist and religious views, explains why science can’t answer the “why” behind existence, and points to our inner sense of ‘ought’ as a clue. The host invites listeners to notice the inner tug of conscience, honestly consider its source, and continue the series into chapter 5 where Lewis explores why that unease can be good news.
