Publisher's Synopsis
In 1941 England, when all hope was threatened by the inhumanity of war, C.S. Lewis was invited to give a series of radio lectures addressing the central issues of Christianity. More than half a century later, these talks continue to retain their poignancy. First heard as informal radio broadcasts on the BBC, the lectures were published as three books and subsequently combined into Mere Christianity. Lewis's forceful and accessible discussion of Christian belief has become one of the most popular introductions to Christianity. Because Lewis rejects the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, he uncovers common ground upon which all Christians can stand together. This twentieth century masterpiece provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.
