My guest for this Sunday Shedpod Interview  is from an Oxford & Cambridge literary background and was played in the superb , Shadowlands, by Sir Anthony Hopkins. The film depicts the loving relationship between 'Jack' C.S.Lewis and Joy Grisham. However, there will be no mention of that in this programme. 
The main questions are concerning the natural self and the Christ self, the timelessness of God's presence and other topics that can be found in ' Mere Christianity', available in Fount paperback. 

London, 6 August, 1941. C. S. Lewis sits in a broadcast booth of the BBC and delivers his first radio broadcast to a nation fighting for its life. The subject: Right and Wrong, A Clue To The Meaning Of The Universe.  Lewis explains   the BBC broadcasts: “Ever since I became a Christian I have thought that the best, perhaps the only, service I could do for my unbelieving neighbours was to explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times.”

Lewis thought it better for his audience top focus on the natural law since he felt  there was a  lack in  knowledge of the Bible and  many didn’t believe in the assumptions the Bible made about morality. Therefore, Lewis decided he must make sure there was an understanding that right and wrong existed universally. Once this truth was established he could then deal with the issue of not living up to that standard and from where such a standard originated.
