Why Study C.S. Lewis’s Case for Christ?
(Chapters 1 & 2)

Lewis’ writings have had a major impact on believers in the 20th and 21st centuries. He did not approach his defense of the faith in a systematic, academic way. Rather, he addressed questions he struggled with during his years as an unbeliever. Lewis combined an intellectual genius with an ability to mesh reason and imagination, as well as a facility with words, a great sense of humor, and a keen discernment of what people needed to hear. He addressed issues that are perennial questions which people have struggled with throughout the ages.
