Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants
of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential
writers of his day. He was a fellow and tutor in English Literature
at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to
the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge
University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more
than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his
works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His
most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere
Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The
Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classic, The
Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100
million copies and been transformed into three
major motion pictures.
‘Apart from The Screwtape Letters, it may well prove to be the most
profound of C. S. Lewis’s many essays’
Saturday Review ‘Splendid, glorious stuff, the product of a
luminous and original mind, tough and honest in facing the
agonizing questions raised inevitably by any consideration of
prayer’
—The Church Times ‘He has quite a unique power for making theology
an attractive, exciting and fascinating quest.’
—Times Literary Supplement “C. S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for
the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a
Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.”
—New York Times “Lewis, perhaps more than any other
twentieth-century writer, forced those who listened to him and read
his works to come to terms with their own philosophical
presuppositions.”
—Los Angeles Times
