Clive Staples Lewis, commonly referred to as [[C.S. Lewis]], (b. November 29, 1898, [[Belfast]] - d. November 22, 1963, [[Oxford]]) was an [[Ireland|Irish]] writer, novelist, essayist, moral mythologist and a world-acclaimed master of [[Christian apologetics]].

The Christian apologetics website Bethinking.org declares:
{{cquote|Bereft of the certainty of reason and truth that results from a godless worldview, it seems better for the atheist to seek an alternative. In his book C.S. Lewis’ Case for the Christian Faith, Richard Purtill offers the biblical perspective on reason and its origins:
:One way of getting a preliminary insight into Lewis’ argument [from reason] is to ask whether nature is a product of mind or mind is a product of nature. If God created nature, as Christians believe, then nature is understandable by reason because it is a product of reason.
[[Christianity]] offers that man is made in the image of God and from this we gather that our mind is formed in likeness to God’s mind. Thus, we have a reason for our reason which is Jesus Christ, the creator of the universe, Earth, and our mind. Indeed the apostle John describes how 'the Word' (Greek word logos, which can also be translated as 'reason') was with God in the beginning, how reason formed all of nature, and how the incarnate Word came to Earth.<ref>[http://www.bethinking.org/atheism/reclaiming-reason-from-atheism Reclaiming Reason from Atheism] by Katie Galloway, Bethinking.org</ref>}}
