Product Description
A forceful and accessible discussion of Christian belief that has become one of the most popular introductions to Christianity and one of the most popular of Lewis’s books. Uncovers common ground upon which all Christians can stand together.
Amazon.com Review
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 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.

• Mere Christianity 20 May, 2009
This explanation of Christianity is easy to understand. If you are a Christian, read it. You might understand better or gain a better perspective. If you are not a Christian, you might read it. The Beatitudes has been called a lesson for Christians, but others marveled at Christ's words. If you are nonchristian, you may attain an understanding or a perspective that you did not have.

• C.s. Lewis: Not 'merely' Another Christian Apologist. 15 June, 2009
In this book, C.S. Lewis gives his defense of Christianity as a religion, a philosophy, and a way of life. Primarily, Lewis argues from morality, citing basic morals that all humans share as virtues. But Lewis isn't like the hundreds of Christian apologists that author thousands of books on the market. Lewis doesn't rely on circular reasoning or emotion to prove his points. Instead, 'Mere Christianity' sets forth an argument that is logical, easy enough to understand, and in accordance with the beliefs that the vast majority of Christians share.
I don't think I could describe the content of this book anymore for fear of reducing it to one argument or a handful of points. This is a broad, sweeping book that takes the reader from theism vs. atheism to the problem of duality to sexual immorality. It's at times philosophical, at times theological, and at times even political. Nevertheless, 'Mere Christianity' is not a difficult read.
'Mere Christianity' is an important book for all Christians and an essential book for non-Christians. This book has converted many to Christianity, including Francis Collins, author of 'The Language of God' and a prominent scientific voice on the Christian front. It's influence on Christian apologetics is incalculable.
Buy this book and you will not regret it. This has quickly grown to become one of my favorite books in my collection.

• I Remember Liking This Book.. 17 June, 2009
I am amicably resigned to my impending eternal torment in hell.
That level of acceptance seems to daunt my interest in christian books and literature.
Recently I succumbed to ceaseless entreaties from family and friends by sitting down and reading "The Shack".
That book was a plateful of unadulterated dreck, with a generous heap of pablum on the side.
"The Shack" did make me think about a couple of things.
The first...Wallowa Lake?
Now that's some nice country. I need to take a trip back to that part of Oregon.
The Second...Have I ever enjoyed a book about Christianity?
Yes I have! I enjoyed Mere Christianity.
I remember reading it in the early 1970's. I have retained a fond regard for that book.
The final thought...Do they still make Chick Tracts?
I dunno...I sure hope so.

• A Fantastic Book To Read And Study! 27 April, 2009
CS Lewis creates a solid 'case' that there is a God. And once established, he then very eloquently defines God in three persons (Father, Son, Spirit). This is a book for believers and non-believers alike.
It would also be helpful to understand CS Lewis's own journey from a strong felt atheist to a born again Christian.
A fantastic book to read and study!
