  • What did CS Lewis believe? The anglican writer and poet never thought of himself as a theologian; yet we swim in his theological waters. Perhaps no popular Christian thinker influenced Western Christianity more in the 20th century than Clive Staples "Jack" Lewis. So, this is his story. Let's explore 🚀

      Lewis never mentioned a blue flower. What he said was the box Gave him a feeling of joy and longing for something that he did not know what it was.. Please don't twist his life story. And it was him that said he wanted to be called Jack. Wasn't known as Jack to his friends because he's the one that invented the name for himself. I don't like when everyone on these kind of channels puts a spin to fit their own narrative. CS Lewis's life should be told in his own words because he lived it.

      What your saying is not factually accurate. Lewis didn't like school. And because of that he didn't like the church. Had nothing to do with his parents. Don't take liberties with other people's lives. You're literally FramingLewis's life to meet what you're trying to say. And there was way more to see as Lewis than what you got to say.

    Hillsdale College has a free class on Lewis, it’s amazing, I took it last year… I didn’t realize he was so handsome, as a young man.
    I lost my mother and sister just months apart; the death; the loss, in Lewis’ life, I so relate to.

    I absolutely love CS Lewis. He helped me in my faith over the years more than any other. And the most amazing part about CS Lewis's life is that he was an atheist. And then became one of the best known writers for Christian apologetics. I love CS Lewis.

      Lewis is amazing! One of the most formative people in my faith for sure.

    Excellent video. Lewis is one of my favorite authors. He had a unique ability to relate to people of all ages, religious, and political persuasions. Yet, he never shied away from speaking of Christ and Christianity.

    This was really great. Thank you! Huge reader and truly obsessed with Tolkiens works. When I heard that he and CS were friends, I’ve started to just dive deeper into his works now.

    I love these; Lewis is my absolute favorite author. Awesome work! ❤
    Btw, got any plans for a future video on Joab, the left hand of the king? That’s one I’d love to see soon… 🤞

    WOW!! Really good! I read once that CS Lewis did not believe in Jesus as the atonement for sins or propitiation for sin.

    Thank you. I now know what the blue rose means that David Lynch uses. Maybe even the blue key in Mulholland Drive…

      I have him somewhere on the list. Next week on Theology Unbound will be the life and story of John Newton (author of Amazing Grace) if that interests you!

    I don't like the whole Aslan as Jesus thing.
