What books did C.S Lewis write?
The Pilgrim’s Regress Main article: The Pilgrim’s Regress His first novel after becoming a Christian was The Pilgrim’s Regress, his take on John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress which depicted his own experience with Christianity. The book was critically panned at the time, particularly for its esoteric nature – as to read it requires a close familiarity with classical sources. In a footnote of the biography D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: The Fight of Faith 1939-1981 by Iain Murray, Murray notes the following: “Lewis is said to have valued ML-J’s appreciation and encouragement when the early edition of his Pilgrim’s Regress was not selling well. Vincent Lloyd-Jones and Lewis knew each other well, being contemporaries at Oxford. ML-J met the author again and they had a long conversation when they found both themselves on the same boat to Ireland in 1953. On the later occasion, to the question, ‘When are you going to write another book?’, Lewis replied, ‘When I understand the meaning of prayer’.”
