"Famously challenged Oxford don C.S. Lewis' argument in chapter 3 of his book Miracles at a meeting of the Socratic Club. Her challenge was so formidable, that Lewis allegedly became so upset by the argument that he rewrote chapter 3 for the paper version of his book to account for Anscombe's argument."

"There is something else going on there besides mere Christianity, for all that his friend and colleague Tolkien considered it a hodge-podge. What, for instance, is Father Christmas doing in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? Why do Silenus, satyrs (aka fauns) and other figures from classical mythology pop up? Surely Lewis was either making it all up as he went along, or he was retreating towards childhood as the result of being humiliatingly trounced by GEM Anscombe in a 1948 debate at the Socratic Club."

Analytic philosophy. It turned Lewis into a bitch.

How are those opinions related to apologetics?

I'll note analytics are famous for compartmentalizing issues. This bringing up of unrelated matters is not how analytic debate is done.
