C.S. Lewis, Science, and the Occult: Director Norman Stone Discusses New C.S. Lewis Movie and More

Ғылым және технология

Award-winning British producer and director Norman Stone discusses his new biopic on C.S. Lewis, The Most Reluctant Convert, with Discovery Institute Vice President John West. The freewheeling conversation covers a wide range of topics, including Lewis’s view of science, the problems of reductionist science, Lewis’s attraction to and rejection of the occult (and the strange connection between the occult and scientific materialism), Bertrand Russell’s atheism, the women in C.S. Lewis’s life (not just Joy Gresham), and even the strange fate of C.S. Lewis’s old rooms in Oxford (you’ll never guess what’s in there now!). Plus, John tries his best to convince Norman that he should do a film version of Lewis’s sci-fi novel That Hideous Strength.

    I'm looking forward to this film. But please, as a filmaker, make a fabulous adaptation of The magician's nephew - my favourite Narnia story. It is so waiting for translating into a film,;it's a beautiful story, rich in characters, different world locations and poignancy, revealing the heart of God.

    Would love to watch the film, but living in UK its not possible at the moment. When is it going to be made available over here and why not distribute the film on DVD?

    I've seen this film twice so far and absolutely love it. I get what Norman Stone is referring to when he describes going through the veil. I love it when a show breaks down that barrier between the story and reality. It can be very fun sometimes.

    Thank you for this video. I prefer to hear more from the director then from the host.

    As a materialist atheist, I thought the journey to theism would be hard but easier than from theism to Christianity. As a Christian, I see the opposite was true. And it hinged on *evolution*

    Wonderful interview........I wish that someone would consider make film adaptations of Stephen Lawhead's Dragon King Trilogy or Song of Albion trilogy.......I realize this is a bit off the mark from the video......I just really love, what to me is, Christian entertainment.

    I recently watched a program on on TV about the Discovery in a German cave of a figure, carved in mammal Ivory, with a lion's head and a human body. The peaces of it were scattered around the cave and reassembled by experts. The figure turned out to be 40000 years old. Jesus is called The Lion of Judah and is represented in the Chronicles of Narnia as Aslam the Lion King. Any connection to a very ancient prophecy ? I wonder?

    CS Lewis 'considered a loose cannon by the church'? - hardly strong enough. If you read 'The Great Divorce', 'The Pilgrim's Regress', and 'The Screwtape Letters', and note his highly unflattering clergy characters in this fiction - from the local vicar to the bishops - and add to it his commentary on certain theologians such as Vidler and Bultmann, and his lack of commitment to any particular branch of the church in 'Mere Christianity' - well, you will find the answer to why there is no church or clergy in the whole of the Narnia Chronicles.

    One day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as one day to The Lord. Could 40,000 years be as 40 years ? Praise The Lord and Bless His Holy City Jerusalem. E.John.B

    That just means that God is above time, because he exists outside of it. Trying to justify an old Earth with that verse is grossly out of context.
