Welcome back for Season 8 Listeners!

Reverend Andrew Lazo, internationally known speaker and writer specializing in Lewis and the Inklings, delivers the keynote address at the 2025 C.S. Lewis Festival. Drawing on two decades of research for his forthcoming definitive study of Till We Have Faces, Andrew argues that Lewis's most puzzling novel is not only his best book—Lewis said so himself—but the key to understanding everything Lewis ever wrote. And we may have had Lewis's central theme wrong for 70 years. Was his life's work really about joy, or was it always about something far deeper?

You decide.
