Review:
In 1943, when hope and the moral fabric of society in Britain 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 its urgency. Expanded into book form, Mere Christianity 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.
Review:
‘He has quite a unique power for making theology an attractive, exciting and fascinating quest.’ Times Literary Supplement
‘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

Logical in his approach CS Lewis lays out in an orderly manner the essence of real Christianity not religiosity which we have come to associate with it. As an intellectual and former atheist, he argues powerfully each and every reason why Christianity is true both from a philosophical and from a biblical point of view. He first shows by reasonable argument why God must exist, considers the options of him provided to us globally and explains what moved him from unbelief to a strong belief in Christ. He then turns to Christianity and examines what is, again, with the same logical reasoning with some amazing insights and suprising conclusions. I highly recommend this book after reading it later in life wishing I had read it much earlier."; 5.75 X 1 X 8.5 inches; 211 pages. Seller Inventory # 27602
