CS Lewis Symposium 1/3: Rational Argument -- Alister McGrath

On the 21st November 2013, the day before the 50th anniversary of CS Lewis's death, Westminster Abbey Institute hosted a CS Lewis Symposium in honour of his apologetics legacy, in St Margaret's Church, Westminster, London.
In this opening lecture, "Telling the Truth Through Rational Argument", Professor Alister McGrath explores the role that rational, philosophical argumentation played throughout Lewis's life, both prior to and after his conversion to Christianity. The lecture is followed by questions from the audience.
