He was a personal friend of Tolkein's and an 'Inkling'. He was also a Christian apologist - an explainer of and explorer of his religion. Anglican, I believe.
.
The Screwtape Letters are part of that aspect of his writing though there are certainly Christian themes in the Chronicles of Narnia and in the science fiction trilogy he wrote.
.
Screwtape is a demon who exchanges letters with his nephew Wormwood who is on Earth trying to tempt someone away from God. It's an interesting look at theology and a pretty entertaining read despite its didacticism.

I wonder - how would you respond when it is proven that God does exist? That there is undisputed, factual evidence of his existence?
