Mere ChristianityWith breathtaking directness, and from his own special knowledge of the chill temperatures of doubt, C. S. Lewis vigorously speaks out for the great common faith which unites all Christians, a faith which is palpable, immediate, and unavoidable. In "The Case for Christianity", the reader will find the reasons why an honest mind can accept Christianity as true. Next, in "Christian Behaviour" he will discover the joys of living that may be expected from following the sane and sensible Christian code of ethics. Progressing then to "Beyond Personality", a remarkable clear and persuasive statement is made of what Christian belief actually is. Men and women of every shade of faith or opinion will find in his summary of "mere" Christianity no vague, spiritual exhortation, but a positive gathering of the basics facts that affect their lives and the sometimes puzzling universe in which they live. -- From publisher's description. |
