I know of several people who experienced profound disillusionment when they realised that he was proselytising.
I feel as if that's an unfair assertion about Lewis. Now, people have proselytised using Lewis, but that's not the same thing.
One thing I hate is when people run around telling other people what Lewis is supposed to mean, before the other people have actually read the text. I hate it not because the first lot are necessarily wrong about what it means, but because it deprives the second lot of the opportunity to derive their own meaning from the text.
