Mere Christianity (CS Lewis)

 

I've heard this quoted so much! I have been reading and re-reading a sermon this past week that referred to it and I decided finally that I really should read it. An interesting fact I learned was that it was originally written as a radio series. Imagine something like this being popular on the radio? I especially enjoyed his chapters on faith, hope and charity. 

The goodreads summary says he was one of the greatest writers of our time. I wonder how they decided that? Don't get me wrong....seems like he's written some great things...but the greatest of our time? 


Goodreads says:

In the classic Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis, the most important writer of the 20th century, explores the common ground upon which all of those of Christian faith stand together. Bringing together Lewis’ legendary broadcast talks during World War Two from his three previous books The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality, Mere Christianity provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear this powerful apologetic for the Christian faith
