C.S. Lewis was once a committed atheist who openly rejected Christianity. As a young man, he believed faith was irrational and emotionally driven. Yet over time, through deep intellectual reflection and honest questioning, Lewis reached a different conclusion.
His journey toward Christ was not sudden. It was shaped by conversations, literature, and an internal struggle between belief and resistance. Lewis later described himself as “the most reluctant convert in England,” acknowledging that accepting Jesus Christ challenged his pride more than his logic.
Lewis came to see Christianity not as a myth but as a truth that explained human morality, suffering, and hope. Accepting Christ transformed his worldview and writing. His faith became central to his works, including Mere Christianity and The Chronicles of Narnia, which continue to guide millions toward Christian belief.
Lewis’s story shows that faith and intellect are not opposites, and that Jesus Christ meets people not only in emotion, but also in reason.
