As part of this growing podcast series we’re taking a look at the 2024 CS Lewis Festival featuring a unique group of speakers, and authors delving into the theme: The Seeker & the Storytellers featuring C.S. Lewis, Madeleine L’Engle, and Thomas Merton. All 3 were 20th-century seekers whose moral imagination and spiritual quests were transformed by reading great books. All three went on to become renowned authors, poets, and storytellers of faith whose works are widely influential today.
