![]() Early lifeĬS Lewis was born in Belfast in 1898. His influence and popularity continued after his death in 1963: a number of his books have been turned into plays, radio and television dramas and films. He rediscovered Christianity in a profound, personal way in his 30s while a tutor at Oxford under the guidance of his close friend and fellow academic JRR Tolkien. ‘You must picture me alone in that room in Magdalen, night after night, feeling… the steady, unrelenting approach of Him whom I so earnestly desired not to meet’.ĬS Lewis was raised as a Christian but he rejected faith in his teens. ![]() His work ‘Mere Christianity’ is a classic piece of apologetics – a defence of the Christian faith – which began life as a series of radio broadcasts. These deal with Christian themes such as sin, humanity’s fall from grace and its saving through faith in Jesus Christ. In addition to his work as an English literature academic at Oxford and Cambridge universities, he wrote a number of popular novels, including the ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ series and ‘The Screwtape Letters’. Clive Staples ‘Jack’ Lewis was a writer, scholar and theologian who is widely regarded as one of the most influential Christian authors of the 20th century. ![]()
