Great writer was won over by Bible
THE recent letters from Mike Cope (January 10) and Ray Reynolds (January 11) add some much needed logic to the letters regarding Christianity.
Ray is right to say we should be wary of believing science fiction as fact.

He studied and was an expert on ancient myths, legends and languages.
He was trained to examine everything that he read to be sure that it was logical and verifiable.
His academic credentials cannot be questioned. He had a 'Triple First' at Oxford.
He was challenged by his fellow lecturers, including JRR Tolkien.
This and his teaching of philosophy encouraged him to study the Bible and conclude that this did not have the ring of a myth but of truth, and, in his words, he became 'the most reluctant convert in Christendom'.

“@Gordon Degg,
Trouble is, Mr Degg, most of the correspondents on the pages regard themselves as considerably smarter than C.S.Lewis.”
