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.
‘I find I am constantly realising that I owe many of my most basic
convictions about Christian faith to Lewis’s imagination.’
Rowan Williams ‘It is really a pleasure to be able to praise a book
unreservedly, and that is just what I can do with “The Problem of
Pain”.’ Guardian ‘A really remarkable book. It says so many things
which seem to me to need saying today. It will help many people to
revise what they had taken for granted and face possibilities which
had not occurred to them.’ Spectator
