Quote by C.S. Lewis
“El cristianismo está de acuerdo con el dualismo en que este universo está en guerra. Pero no cree que sea una guerra entre poderes independientes. Cree que es una guerra civil, una rebelión, y que estamos viviendo en una parte del universo ocupada por los rebeldes. Un territorio ocupado por el enemigo: eso es lo que es este mundo. El cristianismo es la historia de cómo llegó aquí el verdadero rey, disfrazado, si queréis, y nos convocó a todos para tomar parte en una gran campaña de sabotaje. Cuando acudís a la iglesia estáis en realidad escuchando la secreta telegrafía de nuestros amigos; precisamente por eso el enemigo está tan ansioso por impedirnos acudir. Lo hace aprovechándose de nuestra vanidad, de nuestra pereza y de nuestro esnobismo intelectual.”

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.
