Notes About The Poem

A truly remarkable man who said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”- C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis and Racism - Salvation Army Canada

 

C. S. Lewis

C.S Lewis, brilliant 20th century scholar -
even though he wore no clerical collar
      he spread morality on the BBC
   ever since converting to Christianity

Thanks, Anaya. On YouTube they have all the chapters of his book "Mere Christianity". The way they were narrated on the BBC radio in the '40's. I want to see all those episodes because they include diagrams illustrating all the concepts. It's incredible how tuned in he was so that he could explain everything about God so super logically!
