Michael Ward joins Matthew Barrett to probe the ways C.S. Lewis served as a modern-day prophet. Yet Lewis was also strategic, appealing to natural law to throw into question the subjectivity rampant in his day. His goal was ambitious: the recovery of objective virtue and moral value, all for the sake of humanity’s survival.
