The arguement Tolkien used to lead Lewis to Christianity

Postby Lirenel » February 24th, 2006, 2:13 am

I didn't know if I should put this in this forum or the Christianity forum, so sorry if it is in the wrong place.

I know Tolkien told Lewis that all religions have part of the Truth, but that only Christianity was the Truth. Does anyone know what exactly the arguement was that he used? Why he said that Christianity was the truth and the other religions aren't?
