Used to be called the law of human nature! Interesting, now when people break the law of nature the main excuse used is, well, I'm only human, or I'm not a saint. This law that everyone knows is the law of God and He has written it in our hearts and minds, as He said would. AWESOME!
Just plain phenomenal! I am in the midst of reading Mere Christianity and wanted to look up the original recordings and stumbled on this, it really brings the words to life. Everyone believer or not needs to watch this series and ponder over his ideas and thoughts
If i may add it is when theology is spoken through the arts that we feel the meaning of the incarnate Son stepping into His creation... you are firing our imagination and to quote CS Lewis "For me, reason is the natural organ of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning. Imagination, producing new metaphors or revivifying old, is not the cause of truth, but its condition." Your work exemplifies that statement. Amazing job sir... As you pour out your talent in worship, may God bless the works of your hands and may you find strength in His Joy. I always look forward to you videos.
Right now, when things have been so negative, I am so very happy to have found this. This is absolutely fabulous! The doodles bring the book to life, and the book brings The Book to life!

I can't express how grateful I am to have found this channel. Thank you so so much.
What could be better than listening to CS Lewis? Having his timeless writing illuminated artistically! Thanks very much for this excellent production!!
I've always wanted to read this book and have tried and failed because I couldn't understand it. Thank you for posting these it makes this book so much more understandable.
I really look forward to these videos. You have an underrated and under appreciated talent! I hope that you get many more views in the future. Many people (such as myself) need to hear C.S. Lewis' wisdom now more than ever. You have been extraordinarily creative in that you have made these lessons easy to understand and so very interesting to follow. Thank you and please keep up the good work!
I used this video series in our high school Sunday School class. They each are only about 10 minutes and they really add to the kids' understanding of the material. Fun way to "read" the book. Only wish there were doodles for the entire book!!
Whoooaaaa. This is SOOOOOOO creative!!! This is some MASSIVE talent & ingenuity! I enjoyed this so much! I've been wanting to read Mere Christianity & other works by C.S. Lewis!! So imagine my surprise that Chapter 6 of this series RANDOMLY popped up on my Home Page after I kept scrolling! I was ready to turn the app off but randomly kept looking through suggestions & I saw this & got so excited! Yaaayyy! I'll be back for more! 😍🤍
Your work is such a blessing! I read Mere Christianity years ago and really enjoyed it, but it was also not an "easy" read, as you likely realize! We decided recently to go through Mere Christianity as a book discussion in our life group. A friend shared your videos and it makes covering the book content SO much easier - and very enjoyable! It seems they would also appeal very much even to an unbeliever. Thank you!
While learning about the background to Mere Christianity and how it started out as a series of broadcasts on the BBC during WWII, I was told that I should read it out loud (as that is how it was originally intended to be delivered). However, it was also suggested that I watch it on your TH-cam Channel CSLewisDoodle. I am so grateful for that advice -- what a great way to hear this and also watch the doodle art you have created as a supplement. I am so excited to watch the next one...and the next one...and the next one! Loved it🙂
CSLewisDoodle, you do such a marvelous job of having the visible illustrations going right along with Mr Lewis' points! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us. : )
As much that I don't know who CS Lewis is, this is intriguing and educative. It's simple and plain. I've saved the 'Mere Christianity' playlist because there's so much knowledge to get from this simple breakdown of CS Lewis through this illustrations. Great knowledge to carry into 2020.
This is AMAZING! Thank you so much! This will be immensely helpful in going through the book's material with groups. Thank you so much for your dedication and efforts, it is so very valuable and very much appreciated. Lord bless you.
Lewis has just nicely explained Romans 7:21-23 "So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God’s law. 23But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me."
Right, and that is why Jesus told Nick, you must be born again. John 3. For only then can we (that believe) participate in the "divine nature" Peter spoke of, 2 Peter 1:4.
+Samuel Mork Bednarz Lewis' broadcast was squeezed between the news in Norwegian and a cultural show in Welsh, so I tried to recreate the original war radio program using a radio broadcast made from London during the occupation of Norway - see 0:37 .
Would love to assign Lewis's BBC Talks in my ethics class but cannot do so by regulation until they are closed captioned. Mind turning on captions and doing a bit of light editing to TH-cam's auto-captioning to clean it up, CSLewis Doodle? It might lead to many new viewers through educators who want to use these excellent videos.
Unfortunately, subtitles don't work with doodles as they cover the pictures, and defeat what I am trying to achieve. Many schools use them now without subtitles, but perhaps a printout of the chapter as a class hand out would suffice? Are you teaching in university or high school?
Hi. The subtitles pop up automatically for many, and the text captions have a black background that cover over my hand when I illustrate anywhere near the base of the page. I can give you PDF copy of the transcript if you want it.
@@CSLewisDoodle Oh, I see. (grin!) It's just that I'm finding my hearing is gradually fading --- but your videos of his words with your doodling is so blessed! I'll just go & get Mr Lewis' book, Mere Christianity, & add it to my C.S.Lewis collection! Thanks so much, though! ❤
My mother is the same. She loves subtitles on movies, especially since mumbling and very strong local British accents became oh so cool! The book is a good idea!
Great stuff thank you i send this to a friend to start off about moral law and than ask questions than to to them about jesus and why I believe. Never easy but this helps to start off about a moral law and why God is that maker of it.
The titles for these doodles could be clearer. I can’t tell if this is from mere Christianity or not. Some titles say mere Christianity and some don’t. Are they all from the book? Must I compare the titles in the book to confirm?
Hi Paul. The titles cannot be clearer as they are limited to 100 letters, so do not allow elaboration. The first and last of this series of videos (Talk 1 and 25) follow mostly the broadcast editions of the talks ('Broadcast Talks' - 1942 and 'Beyond Personality' 1944). All the other videos follow the revised version of the talks called 'Mere Christianity' (1955).
Do unto others as you would like them do unto you and do not do to others that which you would not like them do to you. Aka them Golden rule. It is an universal standart.
@@CSLewisDoodle I think he meant it in a negative way, as in today we are told to "BE YOUR true self" and "learn to LOVE YOURSELF" and "if someone doesn't call you by your (made up) pronouns, they are doing you wrong". So overall the self centered drive of (digital) society maybe... At least that's what I had to think of. Thanks for this video : )
As a Norwegian and a Christian, I really like the small inclusion of Norway in this video!
God's bless!

Brilliant illustrations making complex concepts very simple.I love the clarity of thought that C.S Lewis had.Good work.
When we make break the law of right and wrong, we shift the law of right and wrong to something else, an excuse. Excellent. I love his thinking.

It’s so obvious that we all have an amount of understanding concerning what is right and wrong and in spite of it we fail to act accordingly

Wow! This series are excellent and desperately needed in our culture today!
Wonderful Doodles!
Thank you!
Fantastic! I love your renditions of his thoughts/words. Keep it up.
Glad I found this, Very well done
Unbelievably creative and clear. These are brilliant!
Thank you so much for doing these videos. An incredible work. God bless you!
The talk was fabulous, but my favorite part was the doodle of the guy signing books. 'I came, I saw, I fled.' LOL!
These are awesome!
"Calon Lân" at the end there is beautiful and oh so fitting.
Brilliant! Thank you!
This is amazing! Great job!
Just awesome!!
Brilliant!
So awesome! Keep up the good work!
amazing and creative!
amazing!!!
Please make more!
Watching again and still FANTASTIC! Great work, wonderful art.
Whats up with the Norwegian stuff at the beginning? I nearly fell out my chair when they suddenly started talking in my native language.
+Samuel Mork Bednarz Lewis' broadcast was squeezed between the news in Norwegian and a cultural show in Welsh, so I tried to recreate the original war radio program using a radio broadcast made from London during the occupation of Norway - see 0:37 .
CSLewisDoodle That's cool. Thank you.
These videos are so great!!!
Quite an insightful and informative understanding and one to which I Agree.
Awesome!! I can't wait for the next !!!
This is simply an amazing experience for someone like me who is a visual learner
Reading the book now but I prefer the listening and watching this. Much more interactive
Shalom, amazing video, salute molto bene
Beautiful.
INGENIOUS!!
Extraordinary Logic!
What a blessing.
Is the radio knob at the beginning a mentos? That would be so cool if it was :D
Thanks for the awesome video!
You're welcome. I used a couple of Imperial Mints and an Oddfellows mint for the radio tuning knob.
God bless you for this.
brilliant.
Brilliant 🌟
Love the intro!

University. But I see your point about the doodles. Appreciate the response. I’ll have to prepare a transcript as you suggested.

@@CSLewisDoodle Generous. Thank you!
This is amazing content 👍
I do so wish that the "Closed Captions" would work on this video... but, surprisingly --- it doesn't!
Sorry about that. Subtitles can't be used as they cover over the illustrations and defeat the effect.
@@CSLewisDoodle I don't understand what you mean...
Hi. The subtitles pop up automatically for many, and the text captions have a black background that cover over my hand when I illustrate anywhere near the base of the page. I can give you PDF copy of the transcript if you want it.

Wonder if this would fly in the current Beeb.
My question is what is Norwegian news doing on BBC?
Norway was occupied by the Nazis, so the Norwegian government in exile transmitted to Norway from London.
@@CSLewisDoodle thanks
Great video, but one thing I am confused about is why can't this be explained by Darwin's theory of natural selection/altruism?
Lewis addressed that in chapter 2/talk 5, 'Listener's Questions' here: th-cam.com/video/l_VYCqCexow/w-d-xo.html
Today selfishness is counted as a virtue
In what areas?
@@CSLewisDoodle I think he meant it in a negative way, as in today we are told to "BE YOUR true self" and "learn to LOVE YOURSELF" and "if someone doesn't call you by your (made up) pronouns, they are doing you wrong".
So overall the self centered drive of (digital) society maybe...
At least that's what I had to think of.
Thanks for this video : )
