We have gathered top books on C. S. Lewis for you to read. British author, literary scholar, and Anglican lay theologian Clive Staples Lewis lived from November 29, 1898, until November 22, 1963. He taught English literature at Magdalene College in Cambridge (1954–1963) and Magdalen College in Oxford (1925–1954). Although The Chronicles of Narnia is his most well-known work, he is also well-known for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain, and for his other works of fiction, such as The Screwtape Letters and The Space Trilogy.
The author of The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien, was close friends with Lewis. Both men were active members of the unofficial Oxford literary group known as the Inklings and taught English at the University of Oxford. Lewis was christened in the Church of Ireland but abandoned his faith as a teenager, according to his 1955 memoir Surprised by Joy. At the age of 32, Lewis became a “ordinary layman of the Church of England” after returning to Anglicanism thanks to the influence of Tolkien and other friends. Lewis’s work was greatly influenced by his faith, and he received widespread praise for his radio talks on Christianity throughout the war.
Lewis wed American author Joy Davidman in 1956; she passed away at the age of 45 from cancer four years later. At the age of 64, Lewis passed away from renal disease on November 22, 1963. Lewis received a memorial in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey in 2013, marking the 50th anniversary of his passing.
