About this ebook

Las mejores selecciones extraídas de las obras clásicas del aclamado autor best seller C. S. Lewis en un solo volumen, para que los lectores puedan contemplar el «gran milagro» de la resurrección de Jesús.

La mayoría de fans de C. S. Lewis lo conocen como el mayor defensor de la fe cristiana en el siglo XX, pero lo que muchos olvidan es que una de las razones por las que sus obras siguen siendo tan poderosas Mero cristianismo, Cartas del diablo a su sobrino, y muchas más, es porque sus argumentos son acompañados por su visión inspiradora, sublime y convincente de la vida cristiana actual. Esta colección refleja el rol en sus obras sobre cómo vivir la vida cristiana, especialmente en honor a la culminación de la obra de Jesús que celebramos como Pascua.

La preparación para pascua es una colección de hermosas joyas descubiertas entre los ensayos, poemas, cartas y otros escritos de Lewis que no son tan conocidos para la mayoría de sus lectores. Pero todos ellos tienen la misma finalidad que impregnan los escritos de Lewis, el objetivo de «crecer y estrechar» nuestra relación con Dios.

Preparing for Easter is a concise, handy companion for the faithful of all Christian traditions and the curious to help them deepen their knowledge and consideration of this holy season—a time of reflection as we consider Jesus’s sacrifice and his joyous rise from the dead.

Carefully curated, each selection in Preparing for Easter draws on a major theme in Lewis’s writings on the Christian life, as well as others that consider why we can have confident faith in what happened on the cross.

About the author

C. S. (Clive Staples) Lewis, "Jack" to his intimates, was born on November 29, 1898 in Belfast, Ireland. His mother died when he was 10 years old and his lawyer father allowed Lewis and his brother Warren extensive freedom. The pair were extremely close and they took full advantage of this freedom, learning on their own and frequently enjoying games of make-believe. These early activities led to Lewis's lifelong attraction to fantasy and mythology, often reflected in his writing. He enjoyed writing about, and reading, literature of the past, publishing such works as the award-winning The Allegory of Love (1936), about the period of history known as the Middle Ages. Although at one time Lewis considered himself an atheist, he soon became fascinated with religion. He is probably best known for his books for young adults, such as his Chronicles of Narnia series. This fantasy series, as well as such works as The Screwtape Letters (a collection of letters written by the devil), is typical of the author's interest in mixing religion and mythology, evident in both his fictional works and nonfiction articles. Lewis served with the Somerset Light Infantry in World War I; for nearly 30 years he served as Fellow and tutor of Magdalen College at Oxford University. Later, he became Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University. C.S. Lewis married late in life, in 1957, and his wife, writer Joy Davidman, died of cancer in 1960. He remained at Cambridge until his death on November 22, 1963. Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) fue uno de los intelectuales más importantes del siglo veinte y podría decirse que fue el escritor cristiano más influyente de su tiempo. Fue profesor particular de literatura inglesa y miembro de la junta de gobierno en la Universidad Oxford hasta 1954, cuando fue nombrado profesor de literatura medieval y renacentista en la Universidad Cambridge, cargo que desempeñó hasta que se jubiló. Sus contribuciones a la crítica literaria, literatura infantil, literatura fantástica y teología popular le trajeron fama y aclamación a nivel internacional. C. S. Lewis escribió más de treinta libros, lo cual le permitió alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aún atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada año. Sus más distinguidas y populares obras incluyen Las crónicas de Narnia, Los cuatro amores, Cartas del diablo a su sobrino y Mero cristianismo.
