Charlie Carter from the Thinklings podcast and Joseph Weigel from Men with Chests rejoin Chris to talk about Perelandra, Chapters 8-11 (or thereabouts).

Among other things, we discuss

• The nature of deception
• The division between dark and light in Perelandra
• The ever-present Center
• Diabolical psychology (or lack thereof)
• The rind and the core
• How Perelandra's vivid beauty reinforces the stakes of the dialogue
• Where, exactly, did Weston get his pack...it looks suspiciously like Ransom's, Precious, yes it does....
• How did Lewis interpret Genesis 1? (we don't really have enough time to discuss this fully, but we take a stab at it)

Next week: The fight.
