“El Cristo en Persona, el Hijo de Dios que es hombre (igual que vosotros), y Dios (igual que Su Padre) está realmente a vuestro lado y está ya desde ese momento ayudándoos a transformar vuestro fingimiento en realidad. Esta no es meramente una manera elaborada de decir que vuestra conciencia os está diciendo lo que debéis hacer. Si interrogáis a vuestra conciencia, sencillamente, obtenéis un resultado. Si recordáis que os estáis disfrazando de Cristo, obtenéis otro. Hay muchas cosas que vuestra conciencia podría no llamar definitivamente malas (especialmente las cosas en vuestra mente), pero que reconoceréis de inmediato que no podéis seguir haciendo si intentáis seriamente ser como Cristo. Puesto que ya no estáis pensando simplemente en lo bueno y en lo malo: estáis intentando adquirir la buena infección de una Persona.”

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.
