Overview

Before C. S. Lewis became one of the twentieth century's most influential Christian writers, he spent the Second World War speaking to Royal Air Force personnel - often in cold, makeshift huts, addressing skeptical young men facing fear, violence, and death.


Those demanding encounters helped transform Lewis from an Oxford academic into a communicator who could make Christianity vivid, persuasive, and accessible to ordinary readers. They also left their mark on the ideas that would later shape Mere Christianity and the world of Narnia.


Meticulously researched and deeply engaging, From Airmen to Aslan with C. S. Lewis uncovers this largely forgotten chapter of Lewis's life, exploring his work with RAF chaplains, his ministry to wartime airmen, and the evacuee children whose time at The Kilns helped awaken his literary imagination.


A major contribution to Lewis scholarship, this is an inspiring portrait of faith, service, and creativity forged in a time of war.
