C.S. Lewis Expert and Ninja Evangelist | A Bee Interview With Professor Jerry Root 

I've been a great fan of CS Lewis. I've never heard of Jerry Root. Thank you so much for this interview. Oh, man, my reading list is expanding.

I LOVE Jerry Root. I can't believe I almost missed this! Thanks for inviting him over for an interview-you guys have the best guests!

We have seenJerry Root speak 2 times in Utah. So wonderful. CS Lewis changed my life. Mere Christianity, The Great Divorce, Abolition of Man, That Hideous Strength! Read them many times.

Great video guys thank you so much. The Doctor is a delight to listened too. Love CS Lewis, my favorite quote attributed to him is: "When the whole world is running toward the edge of a cliff, the person running in the opposite direction appears to have lost their mind."

Wait… the comedians are *this* well read!? Instant respect. ❤

The "Root Hog" at Whittier College. Dr. Root was my youth pastor and led me to Christ. This interview was an unexpected treat.

Love this man! Jerry Root is a highly regarded professor at where I went to undergrad. I never took a class with him, but I went to every lecture I possibly could that he gave and soaked up every word. He is someone that just gives off the "aroma" of Christ. An astounding intellect and an inspiring man of faith.

I love what he says about college inoculating you against learning, and finding new things every time upon rereading. Very thought provoking, thank you.

This guy was fantastic. Please invite him again.

You can tell he's read many good books by the way he seamlessly paints a picture with his words. Good interview.

This is great! I hope Jerry comes back on your show soon!😁👏👏👏🙏❤️🙏🙌

One of the best podcasts I’ve heard in ages. Thank you for having this amazing guest and I hope you will have him back for a much longer interview 🙏🙏🙏

Spurgeon and Lewis are my favorites.

Outstanding and enlightening interview. Glad I did not miss this one.

This dude is amazing ❤🙏🏻

Tim Keller’s wife was named Kathy not Karen and her letter from Lewis is in the book. Love Jerry Root.

That was a good one.

Would have missed this had I not seen Babylon Bee YT post that it would be silly to miss this just because it was on another channel. Now I havent missed it. Thank you for helping me not be silly Babylon Bee!

What an amazing man! Thank you for this interview.

Rereading the Chronicles of Narnia as a person who has “seen” him-after so much liberal arts/separation of church/state indoctrination in high school, college, law school and a life in tech. Trippy times!!!!!❤

Loved this interview, so inspiring. Your commitment to excellence is a blessing…❤

Oh to have a heart for others like he does

Loved this!

Excellent interview.

Wonderful interview! Thanks for just letting him speak! Fascinating!

Became a fan, today. Great interview.

I just read this book. The homosexuality going on in the boarding schools was kind of crazy

Fascinating fellow

Lovely interview

Great interview, now I have more books to read

Really enjoyed this one. Glad you guys did this interview. Currently working on a list of books to read myself as well as introduce to my 10yo son.

C.S. Lewis absolutely brilliant. Hid his Christianity and the smartest liberals in schools and colleges waxed on about him like he was a sort of Dickens “pick yourself up by the bootstraps” life is grey figure for the kiddies. Many were horrified to find out that it was all about Jesus, and so was he. His Lesser known “The Great Divorce” was taught to my at my elite girl’s school where a woman from BYU taught which wasn’t a typical school for an English teacher at this school (The Winsor School in Boston.) She put faith over all and it was clear as she’d also break out and preach the gospel, sing these hymns to kids we volunteered with after school for “credit.” Back then I didn’t say a thing to my snickering friends about how I was soothed by it. She was real. At 40 I am so impressed by the power of Christians and anyone of faith who effects change from the heart by carrying peace and bringing actual light and presence to kids and people-both us scared middle school & high schoolers at the fancy school AND the children we were supposed to be tutoring in a shelter who really just needed to be sang to. C.S. Lewis knew the power of life and the salvation of doing Christs work on earth. He did that in the same effective way by staying humble and masking the faith in a way that uptight adults could find powerful and study and dissect until…then they might see.

Leaving YT because of what they did to Nick. See yall on rumble

Good interview.

I'm a slow reader too!!!!

Are they twins?! I've never seen them sitting together.😂

They made us read Chaucer in 9th grade. Really tough at that age

Great

👏👏👏💕

👍👍

got ax on hard ban again

Awwww, a paywalllll??

This argument doesn’t make sense to me because humanity can be contingent on God while God is not contingent on humanity. For example, I love my dogs (and past dogs) and they love me completely, but the contingency goes one way. They need me.
