Christianity finds the world in the midst of a war. For Lewis, God is set against a Dark power but the Christian is behind enemy lines. He says,
“Enemy-occupied territory—that is what the world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say, landed in disguise, and is call us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage. When you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from our friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going. He does this by playing on our conceit and laziness and intellectual snobbery.”
— C.S. Lewis

Clive Staples Lewis (November 29, 1898 – November 22, 1963) was an exceptional scholar, novelist, and Christian apologist from the Anglican tradition. Chronicles of Narnia serves as a fine example of Lewis as a prolific storyteller who captivated the imaginations of multitudes.
