C. S. Lewis

The ones that have left a mark have given a repertoire of masterpieces for generations to enjoy. Clive Staples “C.S” Lewis (11/29/1898 – 11/22/1963) wrote many cross-genre classics during his published career from year 1919 through 1962. He was mostly distinguished for bringing Christian paradigms to children’s fantasy books and by defending the religion in Christian Apologetics. Lewis defended Christianity without tire. Writers like David Lake consider him “the most powerful defender seen in (our)

Our savior 's presence is evident in your life. I didn 't get the chance to know you as well as I would have liked to. But we do have something in common and in that way I know you. I know you are beautiful in the sight of the Lord, and beautify this world simply with your presence. I know you are forgiven, I know your life is an outpouring of

C.S. Lewis once said, “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.” Within the quote, one can understand the Christian views of C.S. Lewis. Many know C.S Lewis as a fantasy novelist who wrote the infamous Chronicles of Narnia (Proquest Learning Literature). However, many don’t know that his other writings reflect his beliefs as a Christian. His vast variety of books allowed him to reach a large audience that

book series. The man behind this is Clives Staples Lewis or C.S. Lewis. He is mostly remembered as a Christian writer, however, there were many events that shaped his mindset. He excelled in many professions such as philosopher, theologian, professor, novelist, children’s writer, literary critic, and lecturer. C.S. Lewis overcame many obstacles in his life and is one of the most influential people in literature even decades after his death. C.S. Lewis was born November 29, 1898 in the Protestant heart

The Screwtape letters is another great work of Lewis where he uses imagination to explain the truth upside down through letters between two devils. It is like reverse psychology in a way for example if something is good in Screwtape then it is bad in reality or if something is a setback it is actually a victory in struggles against evil ( Brown 177). Lewis then talked about his idea of the 'devil'; he does not believe the devil is the opposite force against God, rather he says it is angels that have

At the age of nine, Clive Staples Lewis experienced a tragic death which made him no longer believe in God. For the next 24 years, he felt as if Christianity was a myth. After talking to J.R.R Tolkien and Hugo Dyson at four in the morning, Lewis transformed back into a Christian because they persuaded him it all was the truth. Soon after that conversation he became a children and Christian author. Lewis created The Chronicles of Narnia to represent an allegory of multiple stories in the Bible. In

In addition, Budge also directly influenced at least two authors. The first of these authors was Edith Nesbit. She was the British author who wrote The Story of the Amulet (1906), a children’s novel. In the novel, a group of kids get their hands on an Ancient Egyptian amulet near the British Museum in London. Nesbit dedicated the novel to E. A. Wallis Budge after talking with him about the book before she wrote it. The story was clearly influenced by the concept of Egyptian magic, as well as curses

C.S. Lewis never claimed to be a theologian— in fact he claimed quite the opposite. His works fell more into the category of apologetics than anything else, and he delved into Christian literature, science-fiction, non-fiction, as well as a host of other genres, but never claimed to be doctrine-savvy. However In his classic work, Till We Have Faces (a retelling of the Greco-Roman myth of Cupid and Psyche), C.S. Lewis explores and illustrates the complexities of the modern man’s— as well as his own—

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Reader Response The novel The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R Tolkien is set in a fanciful world filled with strange creatures and magical happenings, but not everything is so unlike our world. Many of the characters change over the course of the story, just as we do over the course of our lives. Frodo, the main character and the carrier of the magical ring, is part of the mythical race of Hobbits, yet he is remarkably human. He has the

As Lewis continues on in his speech, one may be a little thrown off by what these inner rings are and what exactly they mean to people. Although Lewis mentions both good and harmful inner rings, one could argue that most people find themselves so caught up in these inner rings they
