Chronicles of Faith

A popular Anglican apologist, scholar, poet, novelist, and dramatist, C. S. Lewis never became Catholic. And yet a great number of Catholics have a profound love for Lewis and have been formed by his great works.

Chronicles of Faith: A Catholic Perspective on C. S. Lewis is a wonderful introduction, or re-introduction, to this outstanding literary and spiritual figure. Bishop Fintan Monahan guides the reader through the life and work of Lewis, from his childhood in Northern Ireland and his experiences of loss and war at a young age to his years as an academic in Oxford and his career as a world-renowned author.

In a unique and accessible way, Chronicles of Faith explores the twists and turns of Lewis's spiritual journey, through which he was transformed from a young man of lost faith to a man of deep faith. This book also explains why Lewis's writings, both fiction and spiritual, continue to resonate and inspire Catholics, and other Christians, today.
