10:33Now PlayingCS Lewis is one of the most popular Christian writers of the last 200 years, and he's loved by Christians of all denominations. Both in his own lifetime and well after his death, people have been puzzled by why he didn't become Catholic, despite being good friends with JRR Tolkien and respecting the Catholic Church.
In this video, I dive into a fairly unknown essay of his that sheds some light on this, as well as a letter from his wife and another of his own letters. Put together, we begin to see why C.S. Lewis chose to be a Protestant.
