S3E39 – C.S. Lewis in Space – Out of the Silent Planet

In this episode we discuss the first book in C.S. Lewis’ little-known “Space Trilogy” titled–Out of the Silent Planet. We discuss Lewis’ relationship with JRR Tolkien and their united effort to publish powerful myths for the modern age. I treat this book as a fairytale and analysis it Von Franz-style to uncloak the religious and mythological symbols Lewis hid, as he’s known to do, in the story, plot and characters. Is this sci-fi story archetypal? Does it provide insights to Lewis’ understanding of Christianity? You tell me.

Enjoy 😉
