“En la dimensión de Dios, por así decirlo, encontramos un ser que es tres Personas!' mientras sigue siendo un Ser, del mismo modo que un cubo é» seis cuadrados mientras sigue siendo un cubo. Por supuesto, nosotros no podemos concebir del todo a un Ser así, del mismo modo que, si estuviéramos hechos de manera tal que sólo percibiéramos dos dimensiones en el espacio nunca podríamos imaginar adecuadamente un cubo. Pero podemos tener una ligera noción del mismo. Y cuando lo hacemos tenemos, por primera vez en la vida, una idea positiva, por ligera que sea, de algo superpersonal, de algo que es más que una persona.”

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.
