C.S. Lewis by Joel Heck

Chronologically Lewis

This chronology, begun in 2004, is the world’s best source of information on the lives of C. S. Lewis and his brother Warren. Available in an easily searchable format, and updated with improvements several times each year, "Chronologically Lewis" is an indispensable resource for students of Lewis with nearly 1,400 pages of details of Lewis' life. The current version was uploaded on July 1, 2026, and contains a discrepancy about "The Literary Impact of the Authorised Version," i.e., whether it was delivered on March 20, 1949 or 1950. It includes the essay "Christianity and Literature," i.e., that it was read to a religious society in Oxford in 1939. It also includes a 1955 trip by Jack and Warren to Scotland, a copy of Screwtape signed by Lewis on June 27, 1942, a letter of Lewis to Prof. Herbert Haljaspold in 1952, the publication of "My Father's Eloquent Mistake," published in The Irish Digest in January 1956, and "Morality is Natural," which was excerpted from Christian Behaviour for The Link, December 1946. This version is dedicated to Norbert Feinendegen, whose pdf files I have especially been working on the past few months.
