C.S. Lewis’s Case for Christ

It is now almost fifty years since C.S. Lewis’s death. He thought that his influence would soon wane and his books go out of print. He was wrong. His books are all in print and his influence is global, far beyond the English-speaking world. He is known for many things but particularly for making a clear case for faith in Christ to nonbelievers and believers. Because of the Narnia films, many have become interested in Lewis and some are open to studying his ideas. This video series is meant to be the introduction for a small group study on C.S. Lewis’s arguments against unbelief and for faith. Above all, it should be remembered that C.S. Lewis would not want people to focus on him but on Jesus.
