The author of this book was/is the historian for the BBC. He found that all or most of the correspondence between the BBC and Lewis had been preserved and this book is the story of how the relationship between the BBC came to be and how they worked together during WWII to produce the talks about the basics of Christianity that became Lewis' book Mere Christianity.

He relates the history of the BBC and how they fit into the war effort in the early days of the war. By itself an interesting story and one I had not read much about.

Contains some interesting analysis about how broadcasting and the editing with the BCC helped shape Lewis' expressions of explanations in Mere Christianity. It also discusses his relationships with people at the BBC including popular writer Dorothy Sayers.

I've read several books on Lewis and this was a fresh perspective with some info and analysis not found in other books.

This was a great book about the relationship which developed between C. S. Lewis and the BBC. Within just a couple of years Lewis went from being a university don to being a nationwide and internationally known theologian. His broadcast talks for the BBC helped spread Christianity to whole new audiences and in writing the talks Lewis honed his skill as a writer. Both sides learned from each other and both sides benefited from the exchange.
