Ten years ago a group of us met in an Arcadia coffee shop to talk about literature and theology, perhaps after the manner of the Oxford Inklings. We decided to meet once a month, and did so until Covid put an end to such gatherings, and here is a record of our first meeting.

Two of the founding members, David Levey, of the English Department at Unisa, and Tony MacGregor, have since died (though not of Covid), so we haven't been able to revive it. It was an example of a "third space" gathering (the first two "spaces" being home and work).

#WritersCoffeeClub 3.1 — What is the fundamental goal you seek to achieve with your current WIP?

To follow C.S. Lewis's comment to J.R.R. Tolkien: if we want more of the kind of stories we like, we shall have to write them ourselves.

Hard Reading and Hip Hop After Humanity: A Review of Michael Ward’s Guide to C.S. Lewis’ Abolition of Man

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it here, but it took me a long time to “get” what C.S. Lewis was doing in The Abolition of Man. It’s the kind of book that gets name-dro…

Ayn Rand Really, Really Hated C.S. Lewis - First Things

Ayn Rand was no fan of C.S. Lewis. She called the famous apologist an “abysmal bastard,” a “monstrosity,” a “cheap, awful, miserable, touchy, social-metaphysical mediocrity,” a “pickpocket of concepts,” and...

I recently read a couple of articles that appear to me to be attempts to co-opt C.S. Lewis for the cause of American Libertarianism. C. S. Lewis on Mere Liberty and the Evils of Statism, Part 1: In…
