C.S. Lewis

Clive Staples Lewis (1898 - 1963), usually known as C.S. Lewis was a British writer, scholar and Anglican theologian. He is best known as the author of the series of novels known as The Chronicles of Narnia, but his influence extends beyond that. His other notable works of fiction include The Screwtape Letters and The Space Trilogy, while his non-fiction contributions to Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain, have left a lasting impact.

He was a close friend to the Roman Catholic author, J.R.R. Tolkien, who wrote The Lord of Rings. In Lewis' memoir, Surprised by Joy, he states that was baptized in the Anglican Church of Ireland but fell away from his faith during adolescence. He then returned to Anglicanism at the age of 32, owing to the influence of Tolkien and other Christian friends.
