In this episode, I spoke to Dr. David Baggett about the 1993 Richard Attenborough film Shadowlands. Shadowlands is a film about the Christian thinker C.S. Lewis’ relationship with Joy Davidman and his emotional and spiritual struggle of loss after she is diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Dr. Baggett is a professor of philosophy in the Rawlings School of Divinity at Liberty University. Author or editor of over a dozen books, he’s the executive editor of MoralApologetics.com. He works in the areas of philosophy and popular culture, philosophical theology, philosophy of religion, ethics, and moral apologetics. His most recent book, co-written with his wife Marybeth Baggett, is entitled The Morals of the Story: Good News about a Good God. He’s also contributed to or edited the books Hitchcock and Philosophy, Harry Potter and Philosophy, and Philosophy and Joss Whedon–which is part of why I thought he’d be a great guest for this podcast.
