I believe he was Catholic, but don't take my word for it.ATShavuot said:The name Mere Christianity makes me think of "Biblical Christianity" which in fact it Unbiblical Christianity.
was Lewis Catholic?
Two of my favorite books of His were Mere Christianity and the ScrewTape Letters. Both are of great value and offer excellent insight.ATShavuot said:Would anyone recommend reading anything by him?

CS Lewis describes himself (in the intro to Mere Christianity) as being non-denominational

Maximus said:I really like Lewis' works, but it is important to be aware that he was an Anglican. Some Anglican points of view are evident in his writings. As I recall, he saw denominationalism as no big deal. Lewis seemed to think that choosing a church was something like a matter of taste or a matter of fit. That is definitely an Anglican way of thinking, the sort of fuzzy Protestant idea of a completely invisible, spiritual, unknowable Church.
Otherwise Lewis is very strongly conservative and almost Catholic in his thinking.
I recommend his writings.
As stated above, many of his contemporaries converted because of Lewis' writings, including an Anglican Preist.masuwerte said:Why? Not trying to start a debate here, but I'm just curious.
