Mere Christianity [Paperback]

In 1941 England, when all hope was threatened by the inhumanity of war, C. S. Lewis was invited to give a series of radio lectures addressing the central issues of Christianity. More than half a century later, these talks continue to retain their poignancy. First heard as informal radio broadcasts on the BBC, the lectures were published as three books and subsequently combined asMere Christianity. C. S. Lewis proves that at the center of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks with the same voice, rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations. This twentieth century masterpiece provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.

With a new foreword by Lewis's stepson, Douglas Gresham, this illustrated gift edition evokes the historic time and place of the book's creation.

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.
