C. S. Lewis

 I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

C. S. Lewis

Clive Staples Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland on November 29th, 1898. He was raised in a Protestant family. Although he was raised going to church he described himself as having lost his faith a a teenager. He attended Oxford until World War I broke out at which time he joined the British army.

After his experience and injury in World War I he was left with many questions about God and Christianity. He also returned to Oxford and became a part of a group called the “Inklings”, with members like J.R.R. Tolkein and Hugo Dyson. Eventually he returned to Christianity, a theme that is present in many of his works.

He is well known for his series The Chronicles of Narnia, but also published many other novels including The Allegory of Love and The Screwtape Letters.
