49:35 There is something wrong here. Chad Walsh's book "C. S. Lewis: apostle to the skeptics" was first published in 1949, while "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" first publication is in 1950.

@J M I think that Mr. Ward view on Lewis' works can be right, I just want to point that he probably make error here.

@Sinful Bastard Child Crushing or not, errors should be corrected as often as we can.

"It met the mythological search for romance by being a story and the philosophical search for truth by being a true story. That is why the ideal figure had to be a historical character as nobody had ever felt Adonis or Pan to be a historical character. But that is also why the historical character had to be the ideal figure; and even fulfill many of the functions given to these other ideal figures; why he was at once the sacrifice and the feast, why he could be shown under the emblems ,of the growing vine or the rising sun. The more deeply we think of the matter the more we shall conclude that, if there be indeed a God, his creation could hardly have reached any other culmination than this granting of a real romance to the world. Otherwise the two sides of the human mind could never have touched at all; and the brain of man would have remained cloven and double; one lobe of it dreaming impossible dreams and the other repeating invariable calculations. The picture-makers would have remained forever painting the portrait of nobody. The sages would have remained forever adding up numerals that came to nothing." GK Chesteron's "The Everlasting Man ❤
