The Man Behind Narnia

Notes: A brief description of the seven Narnia novels and their Christian themes and allegories which also come through in the 1995 Disney film of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". C.S. Lewis was born into an Anglican household but lost his faith as an adolescent, only becoming a practising member of the Church of England in 1931, as a result of his friendship with Hugo Dyson and J.R.R. Tolkien. In addition to the Narnia books, published between 1948 and 1956, Lewis wrote a number of significant Christian apologetics including "The Problem of Pain", "The Screwtape Letters" and "Mere Christianity".; Includes "A Brief Biography : Some Major Themes in C.S. Lewis's life".
