For centuries Christians have been tormented by one question above all - “If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?” C. S. Lewis sets out to disentangle this knotty issue, but wisely adds that in the end no intellectual solution can dispense with the necessity for patience and courage.
Clive Staples Lewis was born in Belfast in 1898. He was a fellow and tutor in English Literature at Magdalen College, Oxford, and later was Professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, where he remained until his death in 1963. He is the most important Christian writer of the 20th century and the author of the world famous The Chronicles of Narnia Series, numerous works of literary criticism, as well as four distinguished novels.
