Mere Christianity [Paperback]

In the classicMere Christianity, C.S. Lewis, the most important writer of the 20th century, explores the common ground upon which all of those of Christian faith stand together. Bringing together Lewis’ legendary broadcast talks during World War Two from his three previous booksThe Case for Christianity,Christian Behavior, andBeyond Personality,Mere Christianityprovides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear this powerful apologetic for the Christian faith.

One of the most popular introductions to Christian faith ever written,Mere Christianityhas sold millions of copies worldwide. The book brings together C. S. Lewis's legendary broadcast talks of the war years, talks in which he set out simply to explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many de-nominations, Lewis provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. It is a collection of scintillating brilliance that remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis's reputation as one of the leading writers and thinkers of our age.

As we witness Lewis develop we find that these volumes are working as a kind of unconscious autobiography.C. S. Lewis understood, like few in the past century, just how deeply faith is both imaginative and rational.It is not surprising that Lewiss time-proven views are still flourishing while most other mid-20th-century works are nearly neglected.
