“The World’s Most Astonished Atheist”

C. S. Lewis, of course, is extremely well known — though I always want to encourage those who haven’t read him to do so, and to encourage those who think they already have to read him again.

But Joy Davidman, who became all too briefly his wife, is considerably less famous.  (Those who have read Lewis’s A Grief Observed, or who have seen the play or the film Shadowlands, will be acutely aware of her.)

This article helps to explain who she was, and how, from a very unlikely place, she came to encounter one of the greatest Christian writers of modern times:
