I was interviewed by The Pathway about C.S. Lewis's influential work The Abolition of Man. This February marked the 80 year anniversary from when Lewis first published what was originally an academic lecture series.

Why Christianity is Both Less and More Narrow Than you Think

I had an atheist friend ask me how I could live with the narrow claims of Christianity. “How do you feel about being so narrow minded?” he asked me. I was a bit amused by the irony of his question.
