Mere Christianity
Mere Christianity
Author: C. S. Lewis
In 1943 Great Britain, when hope and the moral fabric of society were threatened by the relentless inhumanity of global war, an Oxford don was invited to give a series of radio lectures addressing the central issues of Christianity. Over half a century after the original lectures, the topic retains it urgency. Expanded into book form, Mere Ch...  more » never flinches as it sets out a rational basis for Christianity and builds an edifice of compassionate morality atop this foundation. As Mr. Lewis clearly demonstrates, Christianity is not a religion of flitting angels and blind faith, but of free will, an innate sense of justice and the grace of God.

Lewis seeks in Mere Christianity to help us see religion with fresh eyes, as a radical faith whose adherents might be likened to an underground group gathering in a war zone, a place where evil seems to have the upper hand, to hear messages of hope from the other side. --Kathleen Norris, from the foreword.

Such an eye-opening book that really makes you think. This is one book that I always buy when I find it used, just so I'll have extra copies to loan out or give away!

CS Lewis encourages a person to look and feel beyond our human body. His writings teach a person to be involved with God, to experience his ways, his expectations and to find their own way in life here on earth and beyond. This book opens your heart and mind and gives a person insight on Christianity and faith.

This book is great! It was my first exposure to Lewis writings and I have enjoyed many other books of his since then. If you want to give it as a gift to someone who wants to know more about the Christian faith this is an excellent choice.

The classic work
reviewed Mere Christianity on
Although I don't agree with everything in the book, Mere Christianity is an excellent read to challenge the mind and give excellent insight into various aspects of the faith. Even my 14 year old really enjoyed our daily reading of it and was disappointed when we finished the book.

This C.S. Lewis work is transformative! I loved reading it for the second time. Though there are some philosophical weak points, Lewis's arguments are very sound.
I am a church-going Christian, but even if I were an Agnostic, this book would touch my heart.
A must-read!
