Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was born in Belfast, Ireland, the younger of two sons. He was educated at Malvern College for a year and then privately. In 1931, after being an atheist since age 15, Lewis claimed to have been converted to Christianity.

It is clear from Lewis' own words that he was not a born-again Christian. Lewis plainly taught that water baptism and sacraments were a means to finding, what he termed as, the "Christ-life" (Mere Christianity, pp.62,63). New Agers and ecumenical compromisers love C.S. Lewis, because his philosophies attempt to yoke Christian beliefs with pagan religion.

According to Lewis' own words, he was: "A very ordinary layman of The Church of England." The Church of England is apostate! C.S. Lewis authored over 60 books which included poems, novels, children's books, science fiction, theology, literary criticisms, educational philosophy, and an autobiography. Mr. Lewis was a dangerous man, and his writings ought to be burned. Mr. Lewis was certainly no Christian. He may have had churchianity; but he didn't have Christianity.


Worldly Compromise and Ecumenism

In 1993, Christianity Today explained why C.S. Lewis is so popular among Evangelicals.  Among the reasons given for his popularity was the following...

"Lewis's … concentration on the main doctrines of the church coincided with evangelicals' concern to avoid ecclesiastical separatism" (Christianity Today, 10/25/93).

Christianity Today magazine admits that C.S. Lewis is popular to Evangelicals today because, like then, he despised Biblical separation.  Like it or not, the Word of God teaches that Christians are to separate from the unsaved (2nd Corinthians 6:14-17; and from other professed "Christians" who live in unrepentant sin (1st Corinthians 5:11).

From 1954 until his death in 1963, C.S. Lewis was professor of medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University.  Today, C.S. Lewis is known as a distinguished literary scholar and Christian apologist.  This is tragic and a further sign of the apostate condition of the church today.  Mere Christianity (a book upon which the beliefs of many professing Christians are based) is considered one of the most profound and logically irrefutable writings on Christian apologetics.  In reality, it is a work of garbage, filled with lies and distortions of the truth.  It is in this book (on page 139) that Lewis refers to man is the "highest animal" (1st Corinthians 15:39 calls Mr. Lewis a liar).  The concept of "mere Christianity" means agreeing on a small common denominator of Christian truth, while tolerating great areas of disagreement.  In essence, Lewis' book is an attempt to corrupt the church.


Apostates and False Religions Praise C.S. Lewis

In a recent issue of Christianity Today, Millet, dean of Brigham Young University, is quoted as saying that C.S. Lewis "is so well received by Latter-day Saints [Mormons] because of his broad and inclusive vision of Christianity" (John W. Kennedy, "Southern Baptists Take Up the Mormon Challenge," Christianity Today, 6/15/98, p. 30).  This fact alone ought to show you that Lewis was a heretic.  I mean, Mormonism is a false religion, a perverted sex-cult, and they honor Lewis.

As an indication of Lewis's continued popularity, annual book sales remain over two million (half of which comes from The Chronicles Of Narnia series, an occult fantasy series written for children. In an article commemorating the 100th anniversary of Lewis's birth, J.I. Packer called him "our patron saint."  Christianity Today said Lewis "has come to be the Aquinas, the Augustine, and the Aesop of contemporary Evangelicalism" ("Still Surprised by Lewis," Christianity Today, 9/7/98).  Wheaton College sponsored a lecture series on C.S. Lewis, and Eerdmans published "The Pilgrim’s Guide" to C.S. Lewis.  In April 1998, Mormon professor Robert Millet spoke at Wheaton College on the topic of C.S. Lewis.  This is all so tragic!

If it is true to say that 'you are what you eat,' then it is also true to say that 'a Christian is what he hears and reads,' since this is how he gets his spiritual food. Thus if Christians are brought up on a diet of C.S. Lewis, it should not surprise us to find they are seeking 'to continue the legacy of C.S. Lewis.' The apostle Paul said, 'A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump' (Gal. 5:9). Thus, if evangelicals read and applaud such books as Mere Christianity, it should come as no surprise if we find them ‘working towards a common mission’ with the enemies of the gospel. The young Christian should be very careful what he reads, and those in positions of authority (pastors, teachers, parents) should be very careful what they recommend others to read (Dr. Tony Baxter, "The Enigma of C.S. Lewis," CRN Journal, Winter 1998, Christian Research Network, Colchester, United Kingdom, p. 30).

C.S. Lewis is regarded by many as the greatest contemporary lay writer for the Christian faith.  With his witty English humor, sharp and simple logic, and seeming loyalty to the tenets of the Christian faith, C.S. Lewis has won the admiration of millions of fans in England and here in the United States.  Churches all across America have embraced the writings of C.S. Lewis, not realizing that the man was of the Devil.
