C.S Lewis's surviving BBC radio address: Part 2

[Grinthor86]

Agreed, Lewis was and is a world treasure. He is one of my hero's, I know it's corny, but I think we need more men of integrity and intellect to look up to. Especialy in the increasingly self centered world we now find ourselves living in. Thank you for uploading this.

[iamprestontucker]

So glad Hundreth featured this in one of their songs. This is beautiful.

[SeleneofAlexandria]

C.S. Lewis was brilliant, really brilliant. His works are really quite wonderful. Thank you.

[GenghisKhan44]

He sounds like Willie Rushton. ^.^

[Hobgoblin93ZZZ]

@GenghisKhan44 Gosh he does doesn't he, hadn't noticed that before. i wonder if there both playing mornington crescent up top.

[Renee1952]

For the record, there's also a recording of him reading "The Four Loves." I have it on cassette.

[louisa1832]

What a wonderful teacher and friend.

[smobfipgooladala]

The intro song is To Aslan's Camp by Harry Gregson Williams from the first movie soundtrack.

[STEPHENWRAYSFORD33]

Thanks for uploading, I must try to read Mere Christianity over the christmas period.

[ellandelachapelle]

Totally fascinating! (in spite of his Oxford accent.) Has it been translated into Swedish? (if not I´d be glad to do it.)

[albaseball91]

Wow. 

[Itiya86]

Is there any written script of the video available for someone who's not an english native speaker?

[SAINTpio91006]

So many words spoken in life that say so little about the truth. Only C.S. Lewis could sum up so much of the Gospel in only a little over seven minutes. This clip is simply staggering ! Thanks for posting it. :)

[Beev60]

"Let's forget about ourselves, concentrate on Him, and worship Him.....Jesus, Christ, the Lord!"

When I give up/lose my life, I will save it -- and when I gain salvation thru Jesus, I also gain eternal life and in the process my life will produce "fruit" in His likeness -- love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, longsuffering, etc.

[753hill]

what's the intro music?

[Natty1905]

I really wish I could friend. I am learning Spanish at this moment but would not be able to translate this!

[MsNoraBlack]

Thank you so much for posting this! Is there a transcript of this message somewhere?

The music was awesome! What and who was it? Thanks again! I getting ready to listen for a second time.

[7RUthere]

@MsNoraBlack The book "Mere Christianity" includes this message, and many like it, in very similar words. If you haven't read it yet, get a copy!

[sheenarobins]

with my utmost respect and love for the man who held the key in his hand and open up my imagination to what heaven must be like and brought me closer to the Father, C.S. Lewis, thank you for your life.

Uploader, thank you for sharing this video.

[spidey676]

Anybody know if this could be in spanish?, if not then im willing to translate it in spanish for my country Mexico.

[gnosisandlight]

@spidey676 There is already a translation in Portuguese but not one in Spanish yet. If you can do a translation for both videos (part 1 and 2) that would be great. As owner of the videos you have my permission. I love Lewis and want the people of Mexico to have access to him in this format. If you have any farther questions just PM me. Thanks!!

[spidey676]

@gnosisandlight Thank you, I have already done the first part, going to work on the second one. I will give credits to you. thanks

[leahmerriam]

@spidey676 all of his speeches were documented in his book "Mere Christianity". there wouldnt be much of a point in translating this audio when it is already translated to spanish in book format. the whole purpose of the audio is to hear his powerful voice. it wouldn't be as powerful if it weren't him speaking it.

[92evalou]

Amazing. Thank you.

[Christianvirtue]

I can hardly wait to meet C.S Lewis in person one day, once we have really developed as people, and become in likeness to Christ.

[UnnaturallyGreen]

4;58 "It's just no good at all going to Christ for the sake of developing a personality. As long as that's what you're bothering about, you haven't begun. Because the very first step to getting a real self is to forget about the self. It will come only if you're looking for something else."

Narnia connection!!! You can only get through the wardrobe when you're not expecting it!! haha was I the only one to think of that?

by the way, I looove his voice.

[popthekeen89]

amazing, thank you

[fischerpilne]

Oh! I am blown away! I just 'happened' to open up 'mere christianty; and read these very passages today,,,I hadnt read CS Lewis in over a year! THEN I 'stumbled' upon these precious clips!! I had NO IDEA there was any existing audio of Lewis! WELL, GOD BLESS YOU. And Praise God! Thanks so much.

[Chiangmai007]

@fischerpilne Sounds like a God thing to me :-)

[pharmfarm59538]

Thanks..this is is first time I heard his voice.

[ericjohnsa]

This is AWESOME. Thanks for the timeless and important upload!

[lanselotta]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I have had no idea this could have survived! Lewis is my favourite auther, thinker, apologist. Someone whose beliefs are so lose to yours that it feels that you have known that author in person! never wished I could hear his voice. although I had imagined it to be different. but that as he says is probably to do with the way he was educated, genes, etc. it's important WHAT he says...

[WhiteKnightxx]

C s Lewis a true genius ,pity hes not around these days to inspire us all to a greater and better life ,thanks for uploading gnoissandlight take care

[ZZemme]

What piece is at the beginning of this?

[Christisms]

Theme to Chronicles of Narnia.

[tuxguys]

One of my favorite writers and thinkers... and a star in the lineage of Christian Apologists: Chesterton>Lewis>Muggeridge>Go­mes. What they all have in common is a near-empirical/logical conclusion on the genuinness of Christianity, which, as a devout Theist, I find much more convincing than a simple belief in, and espousal of, Biblical Inerrancy. Could I be convinced of the singular truth of Christianity, the writings of these men, Lewis especially, would achieve that.

[dessdinovakj]

I love how he speaks to everyone's fears and concerns about our Christian lives. Ah, he would have been an awesome person to know.

[teakbridge101]

But we WILL know him someday!!! And I look foreward to that day with great and urgent wonder!!! Thank you, gnosisandlight, for the beautiful video and pictures throughout it!

[Youlube32]

I hope he still has the same voice when we meet him lol.

[igottajob2]

Amen.

[therealJodan]

@Youlube32 where will you be meeting him.. isn't he late?

[Youlube32]

@therealJodan Well, assuming we will be bodily resurrected at some point in the future, I would presume there and then.

[OswaldsRevenge]

@Youlube32 haha that is a very funny thought, but i hope so too!

[ddykema82834]

great man, great teacher, thank you God for him

[chukmaty]

The accent makes it perfect!

[silmalila2]

I am so thrilled to hear the voice of my beloved C.S. Lewis, who is, in my opinion, the greatest apologist for the faith who ever lived.

I have his complete works and read and read them continuously...and seem to find something new in them every time.

Next to the Holy Bible, the works of Mr. Lewis are the most oft-read books in my entire library.

Thank you so much for posting these! You have no idea (or perhaps you do, since you did it) how very much it means to me to hear his voice.

[flickded]

@silmalila2 It is the exact same case with me. I cant stop reading C.S. Lewis.

[ozisvirtual]

@silmalila2 "The Dark Tower" feels like it transcends off the page...

[Ultiroxx]

Great vids, very neat to hear his actual voice. He sounds more like an actual Christian than a Gnostic (counterfeit christians). Wasn't Lewis a Catholic? It sounds as if he's espousing the belief that we are given salvation by God's grace through Christ, as opposed to the esoteric Catholic doctrine of self-made salvation through works.

[OahuWahine27]

Actually, he considered himself a member of the Church of England. Also, Catholics do not believe in "self-made salvation." The Church specifically says that salvation comes from God alone, and people do good works in order to bring His Kingdom to Earth.

[NihilNominis]

His theology is indeed closer to the Orthodox concept of theosis through repentance than anything else.

[Youlube32]

Just remember what God truly wants for us. A personal relationship with Him. He wants us to know Him and for us to share all the great qualities each and every one of us were given by Him with Him. If we act out of love for Him, the works will come baby!

[valambiguous]

Truly grateful for this video. YAH bless you.

[rpsbrbrasil]

awsome, God bless u all

[AgApE010]

Great video! God bless you!
