{"product_id":"c-s-lewis-and-the-catholic-church","title":"C.S. Lewis and the Catholic Church","description":"C. S. Lewis, the great British novelist and Christian apologist, has been credited by many-including the author-for aiding their journey to the Catholic Church. For this reason, it is often perplexing that Lewis himself never became Catholic.\n\nIn C. S. Lewis and the Catholic Church, Joseph Pearce delves into Lewis's life, writings, and spiritual influences to shed light on the matter. Although C. S. Lewis's conversion to Christianity was greatly influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien, a Catholic, and although Lewis embraced many distinctively Catholic teachings, such as purgatory and the sacrament of Confession, he never formally entered the Church.\n\nMeticulously researched and beautifully written, this book digs deep to present the facts of Lewis's life, to illuminate key points in his writings, and to ask the question: Was C. S. Lewis on the path to Rome?\n\nThis revised and updated edition-with a new introduction by Father Dwight Longenecker-is a fascinating historical, biographical, theological, and literary account of a man whose writings have led scores to the Catholic Church, despite never having become a Catholic himself.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 161890230X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.161890230X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pearce, Joseph|Longenecker, Fr.
