Publisher's Summary

2012 marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of C. S. Lewis’s classic, Mere Christianity. Having sold over half a million copies in the UK alone, his overview of Christianity has been imitated many times, but never outdone. The book is comprised of the legendary radio talks which he gave during the war years.

Mere Christianity brings together Lewis’s legendary broadcasts from 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 denominations, C. S. Lewis provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. This scintillating collection confirms C. S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writers and thinkers of our age.

Critic Reviews

Spiritually life changing

I cannot begin to explain how this book has changed my perception of Christianity in such a tremendous way. Incredible mind gifted by God. Just ignore the comments and words that are no longer relevant for these times.

Logical and hard to argue with.

C.S Lewis gives such a logical progression of thought in this book that even as a believer, I'm even more convinced. I'd recommend this for anyone beginning a search for truth and for anyone who just wants to understand their faith better.

A classic but feels a little dated

Given the lasting impact of this book it probably deserved six stars when it was first produced during world war 2 on the radio in the 1940's in England. It is full of classic points and illustrations. Nevertheless, at least to me, is starting to show its age, and hence, I politely think there are other good alternatives.
