Quote by C.S. Lewis
“Y así es como empezó la teología. La gente ya sabía de la existencia de Dios de una manera vaga. Entonces llegó un hombre que afirmó ser Dios y que no era, sin embargo, la clase de hombre que se podía tachar de lunático. Ese hombre hizo que le creyesen. Volvieron a encontrarlo después de que lo hubieran matado. Y luego, después de que habían sido formados en una pequeña sociedad o comunidad, encontraron de alguna manera a Dios también dentro de ellos: dirigiéndolos, haciéndolos capaces de hacer cosas que no habían podido hacer hasta entonces. Y cuando lo dilucidaron todo, encontraron que habían llegado a la definición cristiana del Dios tripersonal. Esta definición no es algo que hayamos inventado. La teología es, en un sentido, conocimiento experimental. Son las religiones sencillas las que deben inventarse.”

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.
