Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

A while back, my church had a nine week long sermon series dealing with the Narnia series. The first two were about the series in general, the rest were about themes in specific books in the series. For instance, the sermon based on "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" was entitled 'Deathwater,' and talked about not being wrapped up in material things, and the sermon based on "The Last Battle" was called 'Will the Real Christ Please Stand Up?', and talked about knowing how to identify false prophets.
I love C.S. Lewis, he was such a great man of faith.

Contrary to what some have said, Lewis remained steadily against becoming a Roman Catholic to the end.

Culturally, not theologically. Lewis's Christianity was formed by his Medieval and Renaissance studies in his "day job." He couldn't help but think about God in a Catholic way, because that's how ALL the writers he read thought. You can't work all day reading that stuff and not be affected by it.

What he couldn't do is "become" Catholic, because he was culturally conditioned against it. He was a North-of-Ireland Protestant, from Belfast no less, with all that that implies. It was a stumbling block in his friendship with Tolkien, but it was amazing that he got as far as he did into Catholicism, considering where he started from.
