Quote by C.S. Lewis
“La Iglesia no existe más que para atraer a los hombres a Cristo, para convertirlos en otros Cristos. Si no cumple este cometido, todas las catedrales, el sacerdocio, las misiones, los sermones, incluso la Biblia misma, son sencillamente una pérdida de tiempo. Dios se hizo hombre para ese único fin. Incluso es dudoso que el universo haya sido creado para otro fin que ese. La Biblia dice que el universo entero fue creado para Cristo y que todo ha de ser reunido en Él. Lo que se nos ha dicho es cómo nosotros, los hombres, podemos ser atraídos hacia Cristo. Esto es lo único para lo que hemos sido hechos. Y hay extraños, excitantes indicios en la Biblia de que, cuando hayamos sido atraídos, un gran número de otras cosas en la naturaleza empezarán a funcionar bien. La pesadilla habrá terminado, y llegará el amanecer.”

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.
