Synopsis

Master storyteller and essayist C. S. Lewis here tackles the central questions of the Christian faith: Who was Jesus? What did he accomplish? What does it mean for me? In these classic essays, which began as talks on the BBC during World War II, Lewis creatively and simply explains the basic tenets of Christianity. Taken from the core section of Mere Christianity, this book provides an accessible way for people to discover these timeless truths. For those looking to remind themselves of what they hold true, or those looking for a snapshot of Christianity, this book is a wonderful introduction to the faith.

About C. S. Lewis

It is a lofty goal, but many would be pleased if the work they accomplished would last well after their death, and be lauded with posthumous praise. Such is what happened to British author Clive Staples Lewis. He was born on November 29, 1898 and passed on November 22, 1963...... just prior to his 65th birthday. It was 2013 on the 50th Anniversary of Lewis' death, that he was honored by being given a memorial in Poet's Corner in West minister Abbey.

Lewis wore many professional hats......that of novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist. His best known work is The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, and The Space Trilogy. He is the author of more than 30 books, translated into over 30 languages. As we are all aware, The Chronicles of Narnia had tremendous sales numbers and have been made popular on stage, TV, radio, and cinema.

Lewis married American author, Joy Davidman, in 1956, but sadly, she passed away only four years later from cancer at only 45 years old. Lewis then died in 1963 of renal failure.

I had this teacher for Pathophysiology in nursing school who could take the most complex, convoluted diagnosis and teach it in a way that most elementary school kids could largely understand. I will forever remember her class on cardiac tamponade, in which she took a hair tie and taught us the conce......more

Goodreads review by Marcus on November 03, 2008

This turned out to just be the second half of Mere Christianity but it was good to read again. C.S. Lewis' lecturing writing style isn't my favorite, but his ability comprehend and explain complex religious topics is amazing.......more

Lewis fits more wisdom into 100 pages than many authors can in 100 chapters.......more

Goodreads review by Jesse on October 11, 2021

I'm sorry C.S. Lewis fans. I don't mean to pick a fight with you. This read like Lewis's personal journal, and I'm not sure what it had to do with me. The first two and a half chapters are a mythological good vs evil discussion. Most of the book seems to be more concerned with pop philosophy and cult......more
