85 ”The Funeral of a Great Myth,” or Evolution and Hegelian Optimism

We examine C. S. Lewis's essay, "The Funeral of a Great Myth." I argue that Lewis was premature to announce this myth's death, and that what he calls the Myth is actually the Hegelian philosophical worldview that has come to dominate our culture.

When you've listened to this episode of the Christian Atheist, join Jenny and I as we discuss it on our "No Compromise" podcast this Thursday, and join us throughout this season as we continue to explore the ever-deepening Mystery that is our Great God.

Our next Lewis essay will be "Historicism." Please listen beforehand to our Simple Gifts reading of it.
