C.S. Lewis (full name: '''Clive Staples Lewis''') (1898-1963) was raised in the Church of [[Ireland]], and became in stages agnostic, theist, and [[Anglican]]. {{Fact}} He was a professor at [[Oxford]] and [[Cambridge]]. He and [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] were friends, both belonging to the group known as "the Inklings." He credits Tolkien with influencing his conversion.  He fought in the trenches during World War I, and was extremely sceptical of those who did not either smoke or drink. <ref>[[Heroes of the Faith C.S.Lewis]] By Sam Wellman,Barbour Publishing,Inc. 1997.</ref>

Lewis' fictional works include seven books for children known collectively as ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]],'' and three books for adults that fall broadly in the science-fiction genre: ''[[Out of the Silent Planet]],'' ''[[Perelandra]],'' and ''[[That Hideous Strength]].'' Like Tolkien's fiction, these works have a Christian subtext, more noticeable in Lewis than in Tolkien.
