<P>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.<P>In <I>C. S. Lewis and the Catholic Church</I> 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.<P>Meticulously 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?<P>This 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.<P>An Author's Republic audio production.
