EP 24: Perelandra by C.S. Lewis

In this episode, Jared and Matt discuss C.S. Lewis’s Perelandra, the second novel in his Space Trilogy and one of his most imaginative explorations of temptation, obedience, innocence, and spiritual warfare. Set on the unfallen world of Venus, Perelandra reimagines the story of Eden by asking what might happen if temptation came again—and humanity did not fall. We explore Lewis’s portrayal of evil, the nature of freedom, the disturbing figure of the Un-man, and the difficult calling given to Elwin Ransom. We also consider why Lewis presents obedience not as lifeless rule-following, but as joyful trust in the goodness of God. Along the way, we discuss the novel’s strange beauty, its vivid picture of embodied life, and its vision of a universe filled with divine meaning. Whether you have read Perelandra before or are discovering it for the first time, this conversation offers an accessible introduction to its story, themes, and theological significance.
