S3E46 - C.S. Lewis in Space Part 2 - Perelandra
Manage episode 384373540 series 2877940
In this episode we tackle the second novel in C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy. We explore Venus as a new and innocent paradise, meet the mirror or our primordial Mother--Eve--and get to watch as she's tempted by the Devil. But this time...this time, there's another presence in the garden, our hero--Elwin Ransom--and he's hungry for serpent! Lewis weaves theological concepts masterfully into the re-telling of the Eden myth. We explore the pros and cons of religious monism, the meaning of evil and contemplate if and how it can be conquered.
Enjoy ;)
