C.S. Lewis, one of the 20th centuries greatest authors, argues for the essential role of moral virtues. In The Abolition of Man and That Hideous Strength, this argument appears in many ways. Patrick is joined by Kolby and Jason to discuss this set of ideas in light of our aims as classical Christian educators.
