How in heaven’s name did a 19th century Polish rabbi predict, in detail, Marconi’s invention of wireless? Spielberg’s movie ET was really a Christian movie? C’mon, really? Next you’ll tell me that Raiders of the Lost Ark was a documentary. Well, er…yes! Hitler’s obsession with the occult and why Israel bans the music of Richard Wagner. Yes, beautiful music can carry a hideous message. C. S. Lewis, his real religion, his Jewish wife, and best books.
