Thomas Woodward founded the C.S. Lewis Society in 1975 along with other Princeton University students. They wanted students on the campus to hear Christian scholars explain widely concerning topics from a biblical standpoint. After years of success they decided to re-launch the church on the Trinity College of Florida campus in 1988 to explain and defend the Christian faith internationally versus only on the campus. Their outreach has focused mainly on places with a skeptic majority towards Christianity. Their main goal is to answer questions and prove that Christianity and God is real.

As a group of Christians sticking to what C.S. Lewis called "mere Christianity"-- the members and associates of the C.S. Lewis Society's first priority is to know Christ and make Him known. Second, motivated by the words of a philosopher-apologist named Douglas Groothius, they strive "to know the truth of the biblical worldview and to make it known with integrity to as many people as possible with the best arguments available." That quote portrays the main purpose of the C.S. Lewis Society, and their website, apologetics.org, supports that purpose. [2]
