A talk like this one redeems so much drivel that you can find on KZread. A talk like this is worth an hour's drive to a university conference room to hear, and we have it just a click away.

The Abolition of Man is one of those underrated hidden gems.

I enjoyed every minute of this talk. Thank you!

Thank you for doing this talk.

Larry never shies away from a heavy lift. Well done gents. But as academics you dropped the naming of the Dao, in that you attributed it to Confucius instead of Lao Zi. It would be like quoting an apostle words as that of His son’s words. That said the substance and continuity of the flow of this interview is wonderful and most serious. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I am very grateful for this talk and lesson.

Beautiful, thoughtful discussion full of insight and meaning. Thank you

Genius,

Uplifting

Also works by G K Chesterton are available as audio books. I suggest Heretics, Orthodoxy, Everlasting Man, and THEN The Abolition of Man as a wonderful set to listen to or read. (GKC was immensely popular from 1903 until his death. American Protestants seem to shy away because he was aggressively supporting the Catholic Church. But then, almost everyone CSL knew was Catholic, if they were Christian.)

What a lovely, humble man Harry is. His students are lucky…

Both Tolkien and Lewis had to do a lot of smoking for inspiration or mental activation but I don't think that quality of tobacco is available today

Try Capstan Flake Blue! It's essentially a reproduction of Tolkien's favorite blend made from delicious, high quality Virginia tobacco leaves by Mac Baren of Denmark.

The Kabbalah teaches the Earth is at the bottom (Malkuth). But all is conjoined in a Field in fact. Physics takes us way beyond the Atomic model into Waves etc. I'm surprised Michael does not study Philosophy or at least Anthroposophy (Rudolf Steiner et al). He would be fascinated by the Astrological impact of those works. I studied his CS Lewis course with Hillsdale and thoroughly enjoyed the way he teaches. Thank you both.

Totally relatable ... Ive always marveled Tolkiens work and never particularly liked C.S Lewis'! And I always wondered why others like CS Lewis.... I will have give Narnia another honest go

I like these interviews done by Larry Arn. I also discovered Shawn Ryan recently. I also like Eric Metaxas. Who else does good interviews with people you wouldn't really hear from in the mainstream? Y'all let me know, yes?

39:08 Note to Mr. Ward, Lao Tzu not Confucius developed the philosophy of "The Tao" and Taoism or "The Way". Confucius developed Confucianism which emphasized "filial piety" and one's responsibility to "The State". Arguably Confucius was antithetical to concepts of "natural law". All those laws and duties Mr. Ward referenced at 43:21 sounds very much like Confucius. Lao Tzu never made any references to one's "duty" or obligations. He only elaborated on how the universe works within the compliments of positives and negatives. Arguably he never made a case for good nor evil. Lao Tzu merely elaborated on how the universe just "is".

When will there be a book on the festive “ Christophanies” so to speak of the Lord showing up in hidden ways in Lewis’s oeuvre; such as the bus driver in “The Great Divorce”?

St. Andrews shout out.

Time what else? Who can say tragic! While the I AM sitting right Here!

The phrase “saving the appearances” is a nod to Owen Barfield. Someone with whose ideas I deeply disagree, but whatever.

Pop remember. What is a perfect LOVE? Now look at all shared the "i" AM. Yet, if comes near! Will ye recognize?

Time what is tragic? Time given

I both deny and challenge the notion that doctrine is not essential to Christianity on the shear basis that Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh.

Perhaps Lewis's categorization of doctrine as accidental or subsidiary to the essence of Christianity is why he can categorically identify both Catholicism and Protestantism as Christian faiths in Mere Christianity.

Riches nor wealth pop even knows can't exist without the shared Feet resting upon my Vineyards!

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be Saved. Acts 16:31kjv

Students will say even spit, murdered, provoke, and to tempt!

Pop even knowing given the "i" AM?

It seems the pursuit of Lewis and Tolkien was to define and even justify evil and their creativity was therapeutic to endure their perception of reality.

Pop my "AM" perfect in Love denied, spit, mock, and murdered. Pop what is the difference murdering nor aborting my Heirs Hosts innocents little SONS AND DAUGHTERS new minds untouched! Before...pop can't stand seeing my Offsprings preserve! These Old Minds will say "WHAT are you gonna do about it"!

Moses 1:33 And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten. 34 And the first man of all men have I called Adam, which is many. 35 But only an account of this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, give I unto you. For behold, there are many worlds that have passed away by the word of my power. And there are many that now stand, and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them.
