My new favorite book - Mere Christianity,
By
This review is from: Mere Christianity/Screwtape Letters - Collector Box (Hardcover)
C.S. Lewis has a great talent of taking complicated subjects and making them so simple that you almost think yourself stupid. Lewis shows a clear picture of what christians really believe in this book, and with fitting analogies and profound applications, he shows how being a christian doesn't have to be a giant leap of faith into the dark, but can be a firm choice in believing that what the Bible says is factual. (Just like believing a witness in court is telling the truth) Lewis takes on subjects ranging from christian morals and why they are so important for christians to explaining the concept of the Trinity of God (yikes! Heavy subject!). Whether you're a Christian who would like to see the reinforcing explanation of the faith, or anyone else who would like an insight into "mere" christianity, this book is definately for you.

CS Lewis Screw Tapes & Mere Christianity,
By Deborah G. Perdue - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mere Christianity/Screwtape Letters - Collector Box (Hardcover)
"Screw Tapes" is an excellant read, very thought pervoking. A candid argument for faith in God as supreme being."Mere Christianity" is a must read for Christians. It addresses the adversity of the Christian Religion by focusing in on "mere" truths. We would all be better Christians if we remember to remember the main POINT. Thank you Amazon for this excellent purchase. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Merely Amazing,
By Nathan A. Edwards - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mere Christianity: AND The Screwtape Letters (Hardcover)
C.S. Lewis is truly a master of the English language. Having never read any of Lewis' work previous to reading Mere Christianity, I was taken aback by his craftsmanship within the first few pages. This fact, in itself, makes Mere Christianity worth reading if not only for its aesthetic value. The fact is, however, that the skill with which Lewis creates this masterpiece is a mere vessel of the greatest benefit that one might achieve from this work. In the preface, Lewis goes to great lengths to establish that this work was not written to offer any assistance for an individual trying to determine which denomination of Christianity to become associated with. Lewis' purpose it creating this work was to convey Christianity for what it is in the most fundamental of beliefs.One of the first topics attended to by Lewis is the law of human nature. The message that is delivered in this section appears as if it had been written in direct response to the pages that Richard Dawkins dedicated to this very subject in his recently published work The God Delusion, and it appears as if Lewis' work would hold its own ground in this hypothetical debate, even though it has surrendered the advantage of time. It may not be that Lewis' ideas on this matter are any more valid than those of other great scholar's, instead the value of this work is established in the explicit and fluid manner in which he elaborates each point that is made. By the end of this work one will have read about what Christians believe, Christian behavior, and also experience a taste of theology. This has to be one of the most poignant works on Christianity, in general, that has been written in the past one hundred years. C.S. Lewis possessed a great literary gift and put it to good use in writing Mere Christianity. Between the message that is passed on through this work and the descriptive illustrations that are utilized to explain some of the more difficult concepts of Christianity; this book is a must read for every Christian. This work can also be appreciated by the secular population, if not only, for the craftsmanship which went into every page. |
