C.S. Lewis

Creside Staples "Jack" Lewis, formally renowned as C.S Lewis, was an atheist scholar who became an Anglican, a highly acclaimed apologist and a "patron saint" of Christians everywhere.

Introducing: Lewis

"He was a heavily built man who looked about forty, with a fleshy oval face and a ruddy complexion. His black hair had withdrawn from his forehead, which made him particularly imposing. I knew not anything about him, except that he was the college English tutor. I did not understand that he was the best lecturer in the department, neither had I read the only book that he had released under his own title1 (hardly any person had). Even after I had been taught by him for three years, it not ever went into my brain that he would one day become an scribe whose books would sell at the rate of about two million exact replicates a year. Since he never talked of belief while I was a student, or until we had become friends fifteen years later, it would have seemed unbelievable that he would become the means of conveying many back to the Christian faith (Dodd, 05-08)."

Lewis was reared in a peculiarly bookish home in Belfast, to the north Ireland2 on November 29, 1898. The truth he discovered on the pages of the books inside his parents' profligately comprehensive library seemed as tangible and significant to him as any thing that happened out-of-doors their doors. He and his older male sibling Warren were more at home in the world of concepts and publications of the past, than with the material and technological world of the Twentieth years.

Warren was sent off to English boarding school in 1905 and subsequently Lewis became reclusive, rotating to search solace in the invented worlds of clothed animals and knights in armour3. The tranquility and sanctity of the Lewis dwelling was shattered after repair arrive the death of his mother4. His dad not ever completely retrieved from her death, and both young men sensed progressively estranged from him; dwelling life was never warm and persuading again (Hooper, 47-85).

In meager Christianity by C.S. Lewis it notifies you that you will not believe Jesus is a teacher. Jesus said He was God which directs one to believe Jesus is either God or a lunatic. In Matthew 16:15-17 it says,

"Jesus inquired, 'What about you? Who do you state I am?'Simon Peter answered, 'You are Christ, the child of the dwelling God.' Jesus answered, 'Blessed are you, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my father in Heaven.'"

When we become Christian and evolve an individual connection with God, God eliminates our concerns by evolving involved in our life. Billy Graham supports this when he said,

"Unless God is revealed to us through individual know-how, we can not ever really understand God. Most of us know about God, but that is quite different from understanding God. We discover about God through the agencies of the church, the Sunday school, the youth undertakings, ...
