He served in World War One and was wounded in battle. His mother died of cancer in 1908 when Lewis was only nine years old. Lewis experienced tremendous pain and suffering in his life, which made him uniquely qualified to write a book on the subject of pain. This book is often considered to be his first major work of Christian non-fiction. Lewis published The Problem of Pain on October 18th, 1940. Lewis is loved by many for his prodigious works of non-fiction in the subjects of theology and apologetics, as well as his famous fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia. Lewis was a world-renowned scholar and a devout Christian. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) is arguably one of the most beloved Christian authors of the twentieth century.
