On this episode of the podcast, I talk with a living legend, historian Mark Noll. Dr. Noll is best known for work in American church history, especially The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind. In this conversation we talk about a new book about C.S. Lewis’s reception in America, using it as a lens for understanding American culture, then and now. Among the topics we discuss:
- Have American Christians always loved Lewis? How does the reception of Lewis among Catholics, Protestants, and the mainstream press shed light on American religious culture, then and now?
- Why were evangelicals the slowest to appreciate Lewis, and what accounts for the change? How does evangelical enthusiasm for Lewis connect to the "scandal of the evangelical mind"?
- Is there anything interesting about reception of Lewis among the Reformed, Kuyperians and others?
- Could there be another C.S. Lewis in our time? Should we even be looking for such a figure?
- As a historian looking at our contemporary times, what are some reasons for discouragement and what are some reasons for hope?
