Christopher Hitchens highlights an often overlooked admission by C. S. Lewis: that many of Jesus’s teachings only make sense if he believed the world was ending imminently. Lewis openly wrote that statements about judgment, the coming kingdom, and the return of the Son of Man sound like nonsense unless the end of the world was expected “within the lifetime of His hearers.” This creates a major challenge for Christian theology, biblical inerrancy, and the credibility of Jesus’s predictions. Hitchens uses Lewis’s own words to show the tension between modern Christian apologetics and the clear eschatological urgency in the New Testament. For viewers interested in C. S. Lewis contradictions, failed biblical prophecy, Jesus end-times predictions, Hitchens religion critique, atheism vs Christianity, or Christian eschatology problems, this video explores why Lewis’s admission undermines claims of divine inspiration and exposes the historical roots of apocalyptic belief.
