Malcolm GuiteGUEST
So I had just thought I'm going to be, you know, we can all be free with the Arthurian direct, you know, I'm going to just do this.
Malcolm GuiteGUEST
After all, C.S. Lewis reversed the compass when he made the Dawn Treader go east and finally on the voyages of Brendan, which are west.
Junius JohnsonHOST
Yeah.
Malcolm GuiteGUEST
So we're free to do that in Imaginarium.
MirkeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So I'll consider Princess Bride a pirate book.
MirkeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let's see, what else? Voyage of the Dawn Treader, C.S.
MirkeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Lewis.
MirkeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
One of the Chronicles of Narnia books.
Clinton RobisonGUEST
Jonathan Schaefer-Hames has some interesting takes on it, so if you ever want to consult him on this.
Clinton RobisonGUEST
I was a big Narnia kid, so Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a very, very dear favorite of mine.
Clinton RobisonGUEST
I will be a literature snob just for a moment and say everyone should read Beowulf at least once.
AlanHOST
Yep.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Yeah.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
One is in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader when Lucy looks into the book and sees...
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Yeah, I hear about that.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
And then she's mourning about the loss of friendship because she saw something she didn't have.
DoomHOST
Don't take that out of, don't clip that out of context.
DoomHOST
I would love to delete the voyage of the Dawn Treader from my memory.
DoomHOST
Yeah.
DoomHOST
Out of context.

GlumpuddleHOST
The way she thought about fairy tale fantasy, absolutely.
GlumpuddleHOST
So she has given a nod to Narnia in inspiring her with Harry Potter.
GlumpuddleHOST
She's also mentioned The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is her favorite book, and she loves the scene with Eustace the Dragon.
GlumpuddleHOST
She's mentioned that specifically.
Brian McGreevyHOST
For those of you who are new, I'm Brian McGreevy.
Brian McGreevyHOST
I'm one of the clergy here and very excited to be setting sail on this voyage with the Dawn Treader with you.
Brian McGreevyHOST
I would love to say I had planned this knowing that the Odyssey movie was going to come out and be a blockbuster since the Odyssey was one of the inspirations when Lewis was writing this book.
Brian McGreevyHOST
But that was just a wonderful happenstance.
Brian McGreevyHOST
So for those of you who are new, one of the things I want to encourage you to do, if you can't see, and I guess this goes for people who have been around for a while too, if you can't see, feel free to move around to somewhere where you can see if there is such a thing.
Brian McGreevyHOST
Hopefully it will all work.
Brian McGreevyHOST
And we are going to be tonight talking a little bit about why read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
Brian McGreevyHOST
A lot of people think, I know about the Chronicles of Narnia.
AngieHOST
And it comes from, surprise, surprise, The Chronicles of Narnia.
AngieHOST
The book, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
AngieHOST
And the first line of the book says...
AngieHOST
The first line of the book is, there was a boy named Eustace Clarence Scrub, and he almost deserved it.
James WoodGUEST
It's kind of, if you have like Aristotle's four causes, right? The modern world and liberalism as the political form of it kind of foregrounds material and efficient causes exclusively, right? And it drops out formal and final causes.
James WoodGUEST
This is encapsulated in C.S. Lewis's Voyage of the Dawn Treader, I think, very provocatively or beautifully, vividly.
James WoodGUEST
You know, when Eustace asks, you know, when Raimondo says, you know, they're talking about stars.
James WoodGUEST
I forget how it begins.
Travis JohnstonGUEST
The altar is a mountaintop moment that compels us to love the valley.
Travis JohnstonGUEST
So as we consider mountaintops and valleys and perhaps reconsider how God sees them, I'd actually like to close with a passage from C.S. Lewis's The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
Travis JohnstonGUEST
I believe it perfectly encapsulates the purpose of our momentary mountaintop experience.
Travis JohnstonGUEST
And again, if the whole children's pastor thing doesn't quite work out for me, I may be able to do audio books.
