Lewis Studies certificate) https://logresinstitute.org/ The Rafiki Foundation (classical Christian education across ten African countries) https://www.rafikifoundation.org/ Summary Is gender a social construct, or is it more real than your body? C.S. Lewis said the second one and he meant it literally. Chase sits down with Josh Herring, director of the Logres Institute and author of Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve, to trace Lewis's account of masculinity and femininity from Perelandra to That Hideous Strength. They cover the linguistic history of "sex" and "gender" in the OED, Simone de Beauvoir and the three waves of feminism, why Lewis's Platonism puts the idea before the biology (and why Chase pushes back as an Aristotelian), what evangelical men's ministry gets wrong, and whether we will still be male and female in the resurrection. A conversation about receiving reality instead of constructing it.
