CS Lewis

God and Love

Resources Small

Lewis struggled with his faith for many years following the death of his mother. But, finally, in 1929, he admitted that God was God. This was the start of his great writings. During his 1932 visit to his childhood friend Arthur Greeves in Belfast, Lewis was inspired to write his first book after conversion to Christianity - The Pilgrim's Regress.

In the following years, Lewis established himself as a radio pundit after he explained his faith in Christianity during a series of talks for the BBC.


Resources Small While many people love the Narnia Chronicles for being fantasy series, some people see the book as an allegory of Christ's death and resurrection - Aslan representing the Lord of all the world.
