We hope to create, foster, and develop a society of literary, philosophical, and theological engagement for the purpose of the refinement and generativity of the mind and personal character and for the enhancement of society through conversation, debate, and contribution.<br /><br />Verum Fabula is Latin for "True Myth," this idea was expanded and discussed by the members of the Inklings Society in Oxford, England. CS Lewis, Tolkien, and others were proponents that literature was important to the growth and survival of humanity. We will focus on the literature of Lewis and Tolkien a great deal but we also venture in other corresponding areas of philosophy, theology, and Christian Apologetics. It is our goal to make this podcast integral to the lives of every individual who listens.

We finished our discussion of "The Great Divorce" last Monday. We focused on the conversations between the Lizard Man with the Angel and then the Lady with Frank and his Tragedian.
