Those of us who love and look up to the great apologist C. S. Lewis as an
example of what a Christian should be , sometimes tend to forget how miraculous
it is that he became a Christian at all. As a young man, Lewis’s path was taking
him in quite a different direction. In fact, as Max McLean of Fellowship for the
Performing Arts told us in a new interview at BreakPoint.org, “One could see him
fitting into the more contemporary New Atheist camp,” in the mould of
Christopher Hitchens.
Lewis as a prototype of the New Atheist? The idea boggles the mind! But
it’s worth remembering just how close he came to that possibility. And Max
McLean’s latest one-man play, “The Most Reluctant Convert,” brings the idea home
to us in fresh new ways.
“C. S. Lewis On Stage: The Most Reluctant Convert,” which just had its
world premiere in Washington, D.C., is based on Lewis’s writings, including
“Surprised by Joy,” “The Problem of Pain,” “The Weight of Glory,” and some of
Lewis’s letters. Breakpoint.
