Career as a writer on Christianity
===Career as a writer on Christianity===
In addition to his career as an English Professor, and his novels, Lewis also wrote a number of books about Christianity—perhaps most famously, ''Mere Christianity''. As an adult convert to the Anglican church (he stated that he was influenced by Tolkien) Church of England,he was very much interested in presenting a reasonable case for the truth of Christianity. ''Mere Christianity'', ''The Problem of Pain'', and ''Miracles'' were all concerned, to one degree or another, with refuting popular objections to Christianity.
He has become popularly known as ''The Apostle to the Sceptics'', because he originally approached religious belief as a sceptic, and felt that he was converted by the evidence. His books on Christianity, therefore have major themes of dealing with perceived problems in accepting Christianity, such as "How could a good God allow pain to exist in the world", which he examined in detail in his work ''The Problem of Pain''.
