Taking Another Look At Narnia's Creator
.
With the release of the blockbuster film THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE, C. S. Lewis is once again drawing the world's attention. Of course, among Christians, Lewis's stock has never gone down. For at least half a century, his works have been inspiring the faithful and drawing the skeptical to Christianity. As I have recounted many times, his book MERE CHRISTIANITY was instrumental in my own conversion.
Even many secularists have recognized the quality of Lewis's work in such books as the CHRONICLES OF NARNIA and THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS. All the same, not many consider him one of our culture's major writers. But now that Lewis has come back into the limelight, people are taking a fresh look at the quiet-living Oxford professor and writer, trying to figure out just what Christians find so attractive about him.
At this time of year, with all the controversy over Ghristmas and celebrating it as it was meant to be, to have a film such as this brought out and in theaters all over the country is truly wonderful. I am surprised that the ACLU hasn't found some reason to sue someone over it.
