Original Note:
According to Lewis himself, the writers who influenced him back to Christianity were George MacDonald and Gilbert Keith Chesterton, especially the latter and his work The Everlasting Man. https://www.cslewisinstitute.org/resources/three-book-reviews/ It's true that as a Christian, his exchanges with Tolkien were notable. https://www.eden.co.uk/blog/unexpected-friendship-colin-duriez-has-written-on-both-jrr-tolkien-and-cs-lewis-p11388
