Quote by C.S. Lewis
“Los amores naturales pueden aspirar a la eternidad sólo en la medida en que se hayan dejado llevar a la eternidad por la caridad, en la medida en que hayan por lo menos permitido que ese proceso comience aquí en la tierra, antes de que llegue la noche, cuando ningún hombre puede trabajar. Y ese proceso siempre supone una especie de muerte. No hay escapatoria. En mi amor por la esposa o por el amigo, el único elemento eterno es la presencia transformadora del Amor en sí mismo; si en alguna medida todos los otros elementos pueden esperar—como nuestros cuerpos físicos también lo esperan—a ser resucitados de la muerte, es sólo por esta presencia. Porque en ellos sólo esto es santo, sólo esto es el Señor.”

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.
