Lewis is a Christian apologist writer, he was also a professor at Oxford University, who used logic and philosophy to support the tenets of his faith. Not only is Lewis respected on an academic level, but he was also praised for his ability to connect and convey messages to his readers, his writings are practical in their message, understanding the process of life and giving an enlightened observation to those who read his works. Lewis’ approach to Christianity is mostly logic driven and you can see that in The Great Divorce as he uses the character of MacDonald to explain everything that is taking place to the narrator. Although Lewis clearly states in his novel that this story is fiction or fantasy, it is clear that the theme is salvation.
