Quote by C.S. Lewis
“¿Cómo podía ser al mismo tiempo el Dios que todo lo sabía y el hombre que preguntaba a sus discípulos «¿Quién me ha tocado»? Yo sugiero que en realidad, y es una verdad intemporal acerca de Dios, la naturaleza humana, y la experiencia humana de la debilidad o el sueño o la ignorancia, quedó de algún modo incluida en la totalidad de Su vida divina. Esta vida humana de Dios es, desde nuestro punto de vista, un período particular en la historia de nuestro mundo (desde el año 1. DC hasta la Crucifixión) Por lo tanto, imaginamos que es también un período en la historia de la propia existencia de Dios. Pero Dios no tiene historia. Es demasiado definitivamente y totalmente real para tenerla. Puesto que, naturalmente, tener una historia significa perder parte de tu realidad (porque ésta ya se ha deslizado en el pasado) y no tener todavía otra parte (porque aún sigue en el futuro), de hecho, no tienes más que el mínimo presente, que ha desaparecido antes de que puedas hablar de él.”

Clive Staples Lewis was born in Ireland, in Belfast on 29 November 1898. His mother was a devout Christian and made efforts to influence his beliefs. When she died in his early youth her influence waned and Lewis was subject to the musings and mutterings of his friends who were decidedly agnostic and atheistic. It would not be until later, in a moment of clear rationality that he first came to a belief in God and later became a Christian.
C. S. Lewis volunteered for the army in 1917 and was wounded in the trenches in World War I. After the war, he attended university at Oxford. Soon, he found himself on the faculty of Magdalen College where he taught Mediaeval and Renaissance English.
Throughout his academic career he wrote clearly on the topic of religion. His most famous works include the Screwtape Letters and the Chronicles of Narnia. The atmosphere at Oxford and Cambridge tended to skepticism. Lewis used this skepticism as a foil. He intelligently saw Christianity as a necessary fact that could be seen clearly in science.
"Surprised by Joy" is Lewis's autobiography chronicling his reluctant conversion from atheism to Christianity in 1931.
