C.S. Lewis Predicted 2025 in That Hideous Strength

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron dive deep into That Hideous Strength, the final and most complex book of C.S. Lewis's Ransom Trilogy. Rather than offering a typical plot summary, they explore the prophetic theological themes that Lewis weaves into this dystopian narrative—from technocratic utopianism and demonic deception to the seduction of power and the spiritual cost of compromise. Originally written in 1945, this novel’s relevance to the challenges Christians face in 2025 is both unsettling and illuminating. Nathan and Cameron connect Lewis’s fiction to The Abolition of Man, The Inner Ring, and present-day issues like AI, media manipulation, transhumanism, and the loss of transcendence in modern culture. Perfect for Christians seeking rich theological reflection on current events, this conversation challenges believers to slow down, cultivate virtue, and recover a vision of reality where spirit precedes matter and truth is not up for negotiation.
