“Heaven enters wherever Christ enters, even in this
life.” —English novelist, academic, and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis (1898-1963),
Feb. 22, 1944 letter, quoted in The Quotable Lewis, edited by Jerry
Root and Wayne Martindale (2012)
Today would have been the 120th birthday
of C.S. Lewis—who, in addition to
creating the beloved set of fantasy classics The Chronicles of Narnia, also wrote some of the most persuasive
defenses of Christianity published in the last century. (Incidentally, his
death would have attracted far more media attention, except that it occurred on
the day of John F. Kennedy’s assassination.)
(This post is written for my college friend Greg—who
may be an even bigger fan of Lewis than I am.)
