 "Most Reluctant Convert"


Kathleen and I just finished watching "Most Reluctant Convert," which is the story of C. S. Lewis's conversion. The entire narration and much of the dialogue is taken directly from Lewis's writings, such as "Surprised by Joy" and "Mere Christianity." As the story progresses, a compelling apologetic for Christianity is built up. I have never beheld anything like this: a full apologetic argument told through narrative based on a brilliant man's story and performed well--despite the inexplicably inapt beginning and ending of the film.
