She died just a few years later, in 1960, and Lewis followed her in 1963. Later in life, Lewis married Joy Davidman Gresham, an American woman with whom he had corresponded.

In 1954, Lewis became Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University’s Magdalene College. It engages with the concept of love that he wrote upon as a schol. During World War II, he delivered a series of radio addresses that became the basis for his famous work of apologetics, Mere Christianity. Lewiss 1960 work The Four Loves is to my mind Lewiss most profound apologetic work.

Lewis goes into depth about each aspect of love, he first starts by. All different types are used in the bible to define different types of love and they are all greek words. Though Lewis had been a staunch atheist since his teen years, he became a Christian in 1931 and remained a committed member of the Church of England for the rest of his life. Lewis’s philosophical and theological explanation of four types of love: storge, philia, Eros, and agape. From 1925–1954, he taught English literature in Oxford’s Magdalen College. He was injured in 1918 and thereafter returned to Oxford, where he studied classics, philosophy, and English literature. Lewis entered Oxford University in 1916, but he was soon sent to France to fight in World War I. Lewis loved spending time in his father’s massive library, and he lost his mother to cancer around the age of 10. Growing up, Lewis-who adopted the nickname “Jack” as a young boy-lived with his parents and brother Warren in East Belfast, in a house called Little Lea. S.) Lewis was born in Northern Ireland to Albert James Lewis, a solicitor, and Flora Lewis, the daughter of a Church of Ireland clergyman.
