Excellent4.8 out of 5
Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) a British author, literary scholar, and Anglican lay theologian whose life was defined by a remarkable journey back to faith.
Though baptised in the Church of Ireland, he abandoned Christianity in adolescence, only returning to Anglicanism at 32 through the influence of J.R.R. Tolkien and the Oxford literary circle, the Inklings. That rediscovered faith became the driving force behind everything he wrote.
Holding academic posts at both Oxford and Cambridge, Lewis devoted himself to making Christianity accessible and compelling — most notably through his apologetics books Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and Miracles, and through his wartime BBC broadcasts which brought him wide acclaim. The same faith permeated his fiction, most enduringly in The Chronicles of Narnia, which has sold millions of copies and been adapted worldwide.
