Max McLean's performance of "The Most Unlikely Convert" will track C.S. Lewis's long emotional and intellectual journey from atheism to Christianity. It references a wide collection of Lewis's books, including Surprised by Joy, The Collected Letters, The Problem of Pain, Mere Christianity, God in the Dock, Miracles, Letters to Malcolm and The Weight of Glory.
The opening monologue is from the first page of The Problem of Pain to establish the depth of C.S. Lewis's atheism and progress forward to something approaching the last line from "Is Theology Poetry?"... "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
"The Most Reluctant Convert" will last about 40 minutes and then Max McLean will take questions and comments.
