Perelandra Class Six: The Great Dance
We come to the final episode in our Perelandra series. With Ransom having defeated the Unman and being nurtured back to health by this perfected world, he encounters the eldila, Malacandra and Perelandra, who bring him to the King and Queen on the Holy Island. There he learns of the temptation of the King and the recovery of the Queen, of a world saved by the virtue of its founding parents. Confused, still, by the Unman's assault on his imagination during their ride on the fishes, Ransom seeks clarity on the meaning of the small over against the immensities of Maleldil's creation. In answer, Malacandra and Perelandra offer him the vision of the Great Dance, how each individual and each community--because they are rooted in Maleldil himself--are the center and thus, infinitely loved and valued.

Perelandra Class Four: The Battle for the Green Lady
Weston/the Unman begins a multi-pronged attack on the Green Lady, first using two waves of argument to persuade her to live on the fixed lands. When that fails, he shifts to trying to bypass reason and infect her imagination. In spite of Ransom's help, she begins to wane, as exhaustion overwhelms her. How long can this go on? Three times Ransom says it cannot!

Perelandra Class Three: The Transformation of Weston
Weston travels to Perelandra in a newly built spaceship and proves adept at speaking Old Solar. He then apologizes to Ransom for his former behavior, explaining that he has discarded his previous materialist expansionism of the human race to the planets with its attendant liquidation of their native species. Weston explains that he now serves a new master, guided by something he calls Spirit, a force that drives us toward and ultimately fulfills us in a new human disembodied destiny! Ransom becomes increasingly concerned.

Encounters with Jesus, Class Four: Nicodemus the Pharisee
Jesus had a remarkable way with people. He spoke to their most intimate questions in their deep need for God—whether they knew them or not. In Encounters with Jesus, we peer into a few of his most memorable encounters as described by St. John the Apostle in his Gospel. An important religious leader, Nicodemus seeks out Jesus in the dead of night, fearful for what anyone spotting him might think! But he is driven by a question that he does not ask but Jesus nevertheless answers.
