Lewis explores the concept of the bent nature of humanity

In the podcast episode, Professor Alistair McGrath discusses how CS Lewis explores the concept of the bent or distorted nature of humanity in his book, 'Out of the Silent Planet.' Lewis suggests that if a world is contaminated, that contamination can spread, raising questions about sin and redemption. He depicts a flawed and fallen world that is capable of spreading its fallenness through human agency. The narrative raises the question of whether the contamination can be reduced or if it inevitably spreads. However, Lewis does not provide a definitive answer to this question.
