Quote by C.S. Lewis
“Los cristianos a menudo han discutido sobre si lo que conduce al cristiano de vuelta a casa son las buenas acciones o la fe en Cristo. En realidad yo no tengo derecho a hablar de una cuestión tan difícil, pero a mí me parece algo así como preguntar cuál de las dos cuchillas de una tijera es la más útil. Un serio esfuerzo moral es lo único que os llevará al punto en el que tiréis la toalla. La fe en Cristo es lo único que en ese punto os salvará de la desesperación: y de esa fe en El deben venir inevitablemente las buenas acciones.”

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.
