The Magician’s Twin DVD

John G. West

The Magician’s Twin is both a book and a three-part documentary series that explores C.S. Lewis’s views on science, scientism, and society, including such controversial issues as bioengineering, evolution, and intelligent design.

Part one of the documentary series, C.S. Lewis and the Case Against Scientism, explores Lewis’s prophetic concerns about the misuse of science to “abolish” man and to undermine personal freedoms and human dignity.

Part two of the documentary series, C.S. Lewis and Evolution, examines Lewis’s growing doubts about parts of Darwinian evolution, beginning with his views while still an atheist.

Part three of the documentary series, C. S. Lewis and Intelligent Design, will explore Lewis’s personal struggle to find evidence of intelligent design in a world filled with cruelty, imperfection, and injustice.
