Lewis, C. (Clive) S. (Staples).1898-1963,."English critic, scholar and novelist. Born in Belfast, Ireland, Lewis was the son of a solicitor. He was educated privately and at the University of Oxford. A fellow and tutor at Oxford from 1925 to 1954, he was subsequently professor of medieval and Renaissance English literature at the University of Cambridge.

"He was better known to the general public for books in which he examined and explained moral and religious problems. Examining the beliefs of traditional Christianity, his books are Beyond Personality (1940), Miracles (1947) and Mere Christianity (1952). Best known was The Screwtape Letters (1942), in which a senior devil sardonically instructs his apprentice nephew in methods of mortal temptation. Another book he wrote was.Problem of Pain, an excerpt of which is here. Lewis described his own conversion to Christianity in Surprised by Joy (1955). He also wrote a popular series of children's books known as the Chronicles of Narnia, which began in 1950 withThe Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."....Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation.

Martin Luther, 1483-1546 A.D.
Martin Luther translated the Bible into the German language; he was pivotal leader of the Protestant Reformation, having precipitated it with his publication in 1517 of his Ninety-Five Theses, which detailed the indulgences and excesses of the Roman Catholic church. Luther felt that the essence of Christianity lay not in an elaborate organization headed by the pope, but in each person's direct communication with God:.John 10:34. Lutheran theology stressed obedience to government in accordance with.Romans 13:1-7.and.Jeremiah 27:1,5-18. His opposition to the wealth and corruption of the papacy and his belief that salvation would be granted on the basis of faith alone rather than by works, caused his excommunication from the Catholic church in 1521. Luther believed that salvation is a freely given gift based on faith rather than something earned by doing works others regard as spiritual. Luther's protest set off a flood of departures from the Roman Catholic church and set the stage for further Protestant movements, including Calvinism and Presbyterianism..comprised with American Heritage Dictionary and Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation.

Quotes of his 1, 2, 3.

Martin Luther King Jr., 1929-1968 (assassinated), American clergyman and Nobel Prize winner, one of the principal leaders of the American civil rights movement and a prominent advocate of nonviolent protest, as also Ghandi was.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a black US spiritual leader and minister of the Baptist church who campaigned against the segregation of Blacks and became the most important leader of the civil rights movement in his time. He worked to achieve social changes for black people. He was a great public speaker and many people remember his famous speech that starts with the words "I have a dream". He encouraged people to try to achieve changes without using violence and in 1964 he won the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1968 he was shot and killed in Memphis, Tennessee. Those taking the US in another direction, that of satanism, violence and wars, wanted nothing of any peace ways to become widely known. In the US there is a national holiday in January to celebrate his birthday.
   Martin Luther King, Jr., was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the eldest son of Martin Luther King, Sr., a Baptist minister and his mother Alberta Williams King. His father served as pastor of a large Atlanta church, Ebenezer Baptist, which had been founded by Martin Luther King, Jr.'s maternal grandfather. King, Jr. was ordained as a Baptist minister at age 18. Throughout his education, King was exposed to influences that related Christian theology to the struggles of oppressed peoples. At Morehouse, Crozer and Boston University, he studied the teachings on nonviolent protest of Indian leader Mohandas Gandhi. King also read and heard the sermons of white Protestant ministers who preached against American racism. Benjamin E. Mays, president of Morehouse and a leader in the national community of racially liberal clergymen, was especially important in shaping King's theological development.Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
