5 C.S. Lewis books every Christian should own
Fifty years ago today (Nov.22), British scholar, apologist and author C.S. Lewis died from kidney
failure. Though the coverage of his death was minimal (understandable really, since he died on
the same day as Aldous Huxley and JFK), Lewis’ works have affected and influenced untold
numbers of people, Christian and otherwise.
Since Lewis’ death, his books have sold millions of copies and spawned blockbusters. In 2008,
the Times (of London) included Lewis on its list of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.
Lewis is so revered by some that the 50th anniversary of his death also sees Lewis receiving
one of the highest honors that a British writer can have – a place in the Poet’s Corner at
Westminster Abbey.
Some of the biggest names in English literature –Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens—are
interred or commemorated at the Poet’s Corner.
