Hello. Several of you have asked for videos on books that I’m reading. And as valued paid subscribers, I have made your wishes come true.
This is my first such video, or second if you count my last one, wherein I discussed C.S. Lewis’s The Abolition of Man in the light of contemporary politics.
Here, I build upon that with a video on Lewis’s science fiction novel, Out of the Silent Planet.
This one is more of a pure book review, though I do tie it to last week’s video, as sections of this book are closely related to The Abolition of Man.
I have not attempted a comprehensive study of the novel, but I have picked some salient quotes that reveal Lewis’s philosophical and theological worldview, and given an idea of the novel’s core themes, namely the Fall of the Angels and the Fall of Man.
Hope you like the video and get something out of it.
Happy New Year!
Nick
