On the 21st November 2013, the day before the 50th anniversary of C.S. Lewis' death, Westminster Abbey Institute hosted a C.S. Lewis Symposium in honour of his apologetics legacy, held in St Margaret's Church, Westminster. In this second lecture, "Telling the Truth Through Imaginative Fiction", Dr Malcolm Guite reads from the poetry and storytelling of C.S. Lewis, examining how Lewis sought to reconcile the perceived conflict between imagination and reason, and the vital role imagination would ultimately play in Lewis's apologetics. This is followed by questions from the audience. Christian Evidence thanks Westminster Abbey Institute for their permission to film the event.
