Quote by C.S. Lewis
“¿Pero cómo va ese hombre a unirse a Dios? ¿Cómo es posible para nosotros ser absorbidos en la vida tri-Personal? En nuestro estado natural no somos hijos de Dios: sólo somos (por así decirlo) estatuas. No poseemos Zoe o vida espiritual: sólo poseemos Bios o vida biológica que a su tiempo se agotará y morirá. Pues bien, todo lo que ofrece el cristianismo es esto: que podemos, si dejamos que Dios se salga con la Suya, llegar a compartir la vida de Cristo. Si lo hacemos, estaremos compartiendo una vida que fue engendrada, no creada, que siempre ha existido y que siempre existirá. Cristo es el Hijo de Dios. Si compartimos esta clase de vida nosotros también seremos hijos de Dios. Amaremos al Padre como Él le ama y el Espíritu Santo se despertará en nosotros. El vino a este mundo y se hizo hombre para difundir a otros hombres la clase de vida que Él tiene, a través de lo que yo llamo una «buena infección». Cada cristiano debe convertirse en un pequeño Cristo.”

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.
