The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity made C. S. Lewis one of the most famous Christians in the world, but he was once an atheist who viewed the resurrection of Jesus as a myth. Years later, he accepted the biblical story of Jesus as a fact. 

From the fantasy worlds of his childhood imagination to the storied halls of Oxford, come explore C. S. Lewis’s journey from atheism to faith and his vision of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as “the true myth.”
