In the early years of his young adult life, C.S. Lewis believed that the story of Christ’s birth was nothing more than a feel-good myth. That all changed after an encounter with his great friend and fellow author, J.R.R. Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis’ journey from Atheism to Christianity, and Christmas took on an entirely different meaning for him.
In Christmas with C.S. Lewis, starring acclaimed actor David Payne, we find Lewis at his home near Oxford hosting a group of Americans who are Christmassing in England. Come experience an unforgettable assortment of Yuletide recollections that stimulate curiosity, laughter, gladness, and even some tears.
