| | C. S. Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Lewis is known for his work on medieval literature and for his Christian apologetics and fiction, especially the children's series entitled The Chronicles of Narnia. | | | Lewis is said to have stated that he wrote the novels when he wondered what it would be like if Jesus Christ was incarnated on another world or planet to save the souls of those inhabitants. | | | Lewis had a passion for "dressed animals" as a boy, falling in love with Beatrix Potter's stories and often writing and illustrating his own animal stories. |

| | The Unfundamental C. S. Lewis |
| | Lewis has a famous argument concerning Christ's claims of being God, in which he concludes that Christ was either a liar, lunatic, legend or the truth. | | | Lewis also argues that at times he reaches the Voice of God "through all the distortions of the human medium."{46} It appears that Lewis views the use of "the human medium" of communicating God's Word as a liability rather than an asset in the process of finding God. | | | I believe one hears Lewis himself speaking through the character of Lucy when she says, "a good story is a story which reminds her of the forgotten story in the Magician's Book." {10}The forgotten story is what Lewis frequently refers to as the myth that became fact. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Books: Mere Christianity (Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis) |
| | Lewis speculates on the nature of time, the nature of man and the nature of God, as the Father the source, the Son an emanation of the source and the Holy Spirit as the spirit of love between Father and Son. | | | Lewis looks for the 'new man' to be a creature in complete submission and abandonment to God. | | | Lewis states in the second chapter that should readers get lost, they should just skip the chapter - while many parts of Christianity will be accessible and intelligible to non-Christians, some things cannot be understood from the outside. |

| | BBC - h2g2 - CS Lewis |
| | Lewis records in Surprised by Joy a trip the next day to Whipsnade Zoo - 'When we set out I did not believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and when we reached the zoo I did.' This event was to affect his outlook on life and subsequently his most famous writings. | | | Lewis explains why an omnipotent and loving God should inflict pain and suffering on humans and on innocent animals. | | | Pain was a subject that Lewis considered himself somewhat an expert on, having written a book about it and its relationship to God (The Problem of Pain), but the reality was quite different. |

| | C.S. Lewis - General Teachings/Activities |
| | Lewis seemed to think that there is sufficient revelation in other religions for God to covertly direct man's attention to this revelation and bring salvation without knowing of the particulars of Christ. | | | Lewis would have been appalled by the evangelical adulation of his work. | | | Lewis' good, very close friend, J.R.R. Tolkien, the man that wrote the hobbit books, was a very devout Roman Catholic and tried hard over the years to budge Lewis across the line. |

| | CS Lewis |
| | Lewis himself viewed The Abolition Of Man as his most important book in philosophy and theology, a view many others have shared. | | | You Only Say That Because You're A Mathematician is typical of Lewis' provocative and witty style but the Brief Summary Of CS Lewis Arguments outlines the limitations the man himself felt with the area of apologetics compared to telling a rattling good story. | | | But Lewis was much more interested in the medieval worldview and medieval/renaissance literature than The Enlightenment, let alone later philosophy, in which Berlin now seems an ever-increasing force. |

| | Lewis' so-called conversion is described by one of his friends in Light on C. Lewis as having come about by thinking. | | | And, Lewis went to hell because he invented a new god, and he ended his life a Taoist. | | | This same friend states on the same page that Lewis' "Christianity...was also important to him professionally..." and that it eased "the camaraderie with some of his friends..." who were mostly professing "Christians." In short, his "conversion" to Christianity was financially and socially good for him. |
