[Bible] Episode 342: Leslie Baynes - C.S. Lewis's Surprising Takes on the Bible

In this week’s episode of The Bible for Normal People, Pete and Jared talk with biblical scholar Leslie Baynes about C.S. Lewis and the ways his literary background, imagination, and theological commitments shaped how he interpreted the Bible. They explore Lewis’s approach to biblical scholarship, his tendency to harmonize the Gospels, and the tension between his acceptance of biblical contradictions and his reluctance to recognize differences between the accounts of Jesus. Together, they consider what Lewis got right and wrong about Scripture, why the Bible should be read through a lens of love for God and neighbor, and how his understanding of myth, story, and faith can challenge familiar assumptions about biblical authority and interpretation.
