Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
C.S. Lewis, though considered a great apologist for the Christian faith, did not become a Christian until the age of thirty-one. The many years spent as an atheist not only influenced his writings after his conversion, but allowed him to become a great apologist.

In 1956, C.S. Lewis published a retelling of a pagan myth, Till We Have Faces. On the surface one may simply read it as a retelling, but considering his career as a theological author one can see how Till We Have Faces is rich with Christian themes and thought.

While well-loved and known for his profound impact on Christian apologetics, C.S. Lewis also made a mark on the world as a skilled academic. By observing his life one can see that his Christian work and academic work were not distinct, but born from the same desire to follow Christ.

Some Shattering Simplicity: Suffering, Love, And Faith In The Thought Of C.S. Lewis, Jennifer Woodruff
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
A repeated theme in the works of C.S. Lewis is the tension inherent in why and how we believe and accept Christianity. Christianity makes sense of reality, but at the same time shatters all our expectations of reality. Examining Lewis’s writings about the nature of suffering, faith, and love we learn how this is not a contradiction but a shattering simplicity that reveals the truth about reality.

Unto The End Of The World: Omega Point Eschatology In C.S. Lewis And Pierre Teilhard De Chardin, Chris Smith

Lewis.

The Apologetics Of Chesterton And Lewis In A World Marked By Disbelief, Michael R. Smith
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
In an age characterized by meaninglessness and relativeness, arguments once thought to be timeless are challenged by a postmodernism world view that evaluates all ideas as equal and flawed just the same. G.K Chesterton and C.S. Lewis are two sources of authority regularly referenced by current apologists, and provide a variety of logically sound arguments for Christianity.

George Macdonald's Answer To The Victorian Crises Of Faith, Pamela Jordan
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
Due to the advances in science and new philosophies, the people of the Victorian era faced a crisis of faith and its place in a new scientific era.

This approach is particularly evident in his novel Thomas Wingfold, Curate.
