What if we’ve misunderstood the Inklings?

When most of us think of the Inklings, we picture C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien: two brilliant minds meeting in an Oxford pub and changing literature forever.

But that’s only one part of a much bigger story.

G Connor Salter joins the Anselm Digital Pub table to discuss his new book, The Other Inklings. It explores the often-overlooked members of the Inklings, and how they shaped Lewis, Tolkien, and the Christian imagination.

What emerges is a powerful idea: Great stories don’t come from isolated geniuses. They come from communities.
