The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity made C. S. Lewis one of the most famous Christians in the world, but he was once an atheist who viewed the resurrection of Jesus as a myth. Years later, he accepted the biblical story of Jesus as a fact.

From the fantasy worlds of his childhood imagination to the storied halls of Oxford, come explore C. S. Lewis’s journey from atheism to faith and his vision of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as “the true myth”.
So begins the C. S. Lewis exhibit at the Museum of the Bible.

This Easter season, celebrate the “true myth” of Jesus’ glorious resurrection at the museum and see the most popular apologetics book of the 20th century.
“C. S. Lewis and the Myth That Became Fact” is on view at the Museum of the Bible through February 14, 2026. For more information about visiting the museum, visit their website.
