English scholar, critic and novelist who was an articulate proponent of Christianity, famous as “the apostle to skeptics.” Best known are his theological works The Problem of Pain and The Screwtape Letters. His book, Christian Behavior, 64pp, 5"x7¼", Geoffrey Bles: The Centenary Press, London, 1943. Boldly signed “Jack Lewis,” as he was known to his friends, on first flyleaf, adding “Dec. 1944.” Very minor toning, light sunning of spine; o/w VG. Lewis’ wartime radio essays defending and explaining the Christian faith comforted the fearful and wounded, and were eventually collected and published in America as Mere Christianity in 1952. In the two decades before his death, Lewis published more than eight books, and he is arguably the most important Christian writer of the 20th Century.</span></p>
