On this episode of Our American Stories, C.S. Lewis is best known for The Chronicles of Narnia, but behind those pages lies a spiritual journey that shaped one of the most important Christian voices of the twentieth century. Lewis abandoned his faith during his years as a rising scholar at Oxford and identified as an atheist. But as fascism and communism gained ground across Europe, he reexamined everything he believed. He eventually embraced Christianity and became one of its most compelling modern defenders. His book, The Screwtape Letters, offered a sharp and imaginative look at human temptation and quickly became one of the most influential Christian works of the twentieth century. Our own Greg Hengler and other special contributors reflect on Lewis’s transformation from skeptic to apologist and the enduring impact of The Screwtape Letters.
