These sources offer multiple perspectives on the life and works of C.S. Lewis. One examines the development of his Christian faith, particularly as depicted in his autobiography "Surprised by Joy," highlighting the influence of key figures and his struggle with atheism. Another source analyzes the religious themes present in Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia," contrasting his didactic approach with that of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series and exploring allegorical connections to Christian concepts like sin, sacrifice, and faith. Additional sources discuss Lewis's views on science and "scientism," his engagement with theological ideas such as the atonement, drawing comparisons to early Church Fathers like Athanasius, Augustine, and Anselm, and provide a study guide framework for his work "The Screwtape Letters."
