About C. S. Lewis
British author, literary scholar and Anglican lay theologian
C. S. Lewis was a British author, literary scholar, and Anglican lay theologian, active in the 20th century. He taught English literature at Oxford and later at Cambridge, and is best known for The Chronicles of Narnia.

His work moves between imaginative storytelling and religious argument, and he is widely read in both.
