I liked the metaphor he uses to explain the purpose of the lectures: to bring people into the hallway of a great house. He's evangelizing for Christianity and not a particular denomination. Well worth reading.

Great read for anyone interested in BLM.

Well this didn't age well. About as well as the idea of Empire and the sad defense of the realm they were trying to pull off at that time against a madman whom they partially created. It's just Sunday school tripe. I realise it still seems…

I'd probably be an atheist, if I had any interest in religion.

Mere Christianity is a great look at what Christianity is from a layman’s perspective. Lewis takes a difficult subject and tackles it with the wisdom that God grants His people. The explanations are such as can be understood by Christians…

You can get lost in what he thinks but overall a good book for new believers.

I have always appreciated CS Lewis's transparency of his personal spiritual quest. "Mere Christianity" gives the reader an opportunity to ride shotgun to an honest, brilliant mind and soul mate.

I first read this book at a hard place in my life when I was really doubting my faith, and it answered my questions. Before that time, I had no idea how brilliant the guy is!

This book was given to me as a gift, and I have cherished it. I thought of this book again as Easter is approaching and recommend it to all.

Specious arguments,fantasy rationalizations and simplistic assumptions by a believer desperate to justify his own delusional faith in an imaginary world. C.S. Lewis ,to say the least, was a clumsy practitioner of magical slight of hand…

Mere Christianity, based on a series of radio broadcasts Lewis gave in the mid-1940s, is a defence and an explanation of Christianity as Lewis saw it. This book was recommended to me by an evangelical colleague who was aware of my interest…

CS Lewis is brilliant in his ability to explain what many people experience and feel but cannot verbalize. This book is definitely a book I would not want to go through life without ever reading. One of those books (for me) that I come…

Mere Christianity really opened my eyes to Christianity and what it's all about. I took so many notes while reading it that I've decided to buy a copy of my own. The book was very well written and mostly easy to understand. I had trouble…
