Career
C.S. Lewis began his extensive study in Christianity as a professor at Oxford University for almost twenty years (from 1925-1954). It was during his tenure at Oxford that he wrote the most personal works about his faith The Pilgrim's Regress and Mere Christianity. In the early 1950s Lewis began to write a series of children's books called The Chronicles of Narnia. They dealt with many of the spiritual themes he would often touch upon in his non-fiction work, but he presented the information in a much more palatable form. The Chronicles have been adapted several times over the years. Most recently the second book in the series Prince Caspian was released as a movie in 2008. -
