Theological Profile
ProgressiveOrthodox Christian
Conservative Evangelical
Anglican
Scripture
Ecclesiology
Lewis held a broadly orthodox Anglican faith but was not a systematic theologian, and his views on Scripture, atonement, and purgatory carry some ambiguity that places him slightly below the strongest conservative evangelical positions. This anthology draws from across his corpus, so the theological profile reflects his general outlook rather than any single work.

A repackaged edition of the revered author’s anthology featuring hundreds of selections from his writings, organized by the main themes of Christian faith.
C. S. Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—wrote widely on all the main themes of Christian faith: God, Jesus, the Trinity, Scripture, sin, evil, nature, sex, the Christian life, prayer, faith, compassion, guilt, and forgiveness. A Mind Awake includes hundreds of short excerpts, curated from the full range of his works and organized them by theme.
Useful as both a reference work and as a devotional resource, A Mind Awake contains hidden gems of wisdom that are provocative, whimsical, and insightful, and is an ideal introduction to this towering figure who has profoundly influenced modern Christianity.
