“C. S. Lewis understood, like few in the past century, just how deeply faith is both imaginative and rational.” -- Christianity Today
“It is not surprising that Lewis’s time-proven views are still flourishing while most other mid-20th-century works are nearly neglected.” -- Wall Street Journal
“As we witness Lewis develop we find that these volumes are working as a kind of unconscious autobiography.” -- Books & Culture
One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide.
The book brings together C. S. Lewis's legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."
Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, Mere Christianity provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.
