Quote by C.S. Lewis
“La teología es como un mapa. El solo hecho de aprender y pensar acerca de las doctrinas cristianas, si os detenéis ahí, es menos real y menos excitante que la experiencia religiosa que mi amigo tuvo en el desierto. Las doctrinas no son Dios: sólo son una especie de mapa. Pero ese mapa está basado en la experiencia de cientos de personas que realmente estuvieron en contacto con Dios…, experiencias comparadas con las cuales cualquier excitante sensación o sentimiento piadoso que vosotros o yo tengamos la posibilidad de encontrar por nosotros mismos son muy elementales y muy confusos. Y en segundo lugar, si queréis llegar más lejos, tendréis que utilizar el mapa. Lo que le ocurrió a ese hombre en el desierto puede haber sido real, y ciertamente habrá sido emocionante, pero de ello no saldrá nada. No lleva a ninguna parte. No hay nada que hacer con ello.”

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.
