YouTube description
The fifth of six short presentations by leading Oxford theologian Alister McGrath to help his readers to get the most out of his standard textbook "The Christian Theology Reader". This video looks at an approach to the relationship of Christianity to other faiths originally developed in the second century by Justin Martyr, and developed further in the writings of C. S. Lewis. The video engages particularly with Lewis's 1945 lecture to the Socratic club, "Is theology poetry?"
