Mere Christianity
Christian Living by
C.S. Lewis
A theological book adapted from a series of BBC radio talks, Lewis focuses on core beliefs of the Christian faith, avoiding any theological doctrines. His pithy language enabled him to reach bigger audiences and has a much wider scope. Lewis focuses on arguments on morality and rules of right and wrong commonly found in human nature, further explaining that moral laws are similar to scientific laws in a way that they are not contrived but different because they can be intuitively broken. He concludes that human experiences alone cannot satisfy the craving for joy, we need God. The book also explores ethics and virtues of hope, faith and charity. The book builds its case by explaining three layers of relationships: man and man, motivations and altitudes of a man himself and contrasting worldviews. Lewis has a significant cultural impact and his book became of the most popular evangelical works existing.
