C.S. Lewis associate speaks on Lewis, Narnia, and prayer

Simon Barrington-Ward was Chaplain at Magdalene College, University of Cambridge, during the last half of the 1950’s while C. S. Lewis was a professor there. He went on to be the Bishop of Coventry, and is now retired.

He spoke about getting to know Lewis, his first impressions of Lewis as “a farmer in a pub,” and the intelligence of Lewis that was particularly intimidating. Afterall, Lewis was very well read, hence being a professor at both Oxford and Cambridge during his life.
