In C. S. Lewis' 1951 speech, "Is Theism Important?" he helps Christians see the task of "winning souls to Christ" in two steps of faith. The first step of faith is belief that there is a God. The second step is the trust in that God, Jesus Christ. A trust that Lewis says is like "confidence in a friend." This is the utmost step, the one to which all our evangelism, apologetics, indeed, all our witnessing must lead towards. However, that is not to undermine the importance of the first step, convincing people there is a God, there is something Supernatural, something Transcendent. This is becoming increasingly difficult in our Disenchanted Age. Difficult, but not impossible, and Lewis helps us figure out how to do just that.
