An Anonymous Orthodox?
==An Anonymous Orthodox?==
C.S. Lewis is much loved by many Orthodox Christians who often raise the question, "Was C.S. Lewis an anonymous Orthodox?" Lewis's Atonement Theology and Soteriology, as well as his understandings of [[heaven ]] and [[hell]], are very similar to that of the Orthodox and stand opposed to traditional Roman Catholic and Protestant understandings of these matters.
Of course, Lewis remained an Anglican throughout his life; however, it is significant to note that for more than a century, and all through Lewis' life, the Anglican and Orthodox churches were studying union. The Orthodox gave up the quest for union in the late 1960s when it became apparent that liberalism, not orthodox theology, would prevail in the Church of England.
