About this listen

2012 marks the 60th Anniversary of the publication of C.S.Lewis’s classic, Mere Christianity. Having sold over half a million copies in the UK alone, his overview of Christianity has been imitated many time, but never bettered.

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’. A brilliant collection, the book remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writer and thinkers of our age.

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. This scintiallating collection confirms C.S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writers and thinkers of our age.

Critic Reviews

“He has quite a unique power for making theology an attractive, exciting and fascinating quest.” Times Literary Supplement

“Lewis seeks in Mere Christianity to help us see religion with fresh eyes, as a radical faith whose adherents might be likened to an underground group gathering in a war zone, a place where evil seems to have the upper hand, to hear messages of hope from the other side.” Kathleen Norris

C.S Lewis gives such a logical progression of thought in this book that even as a believer, I'm even more convinced. I'd recommend this for anyone beginning a search for truth and for anyone who just wants to understand their faith better.

Logical and hard to argue with.

Given the lasting impact of this book it probably deserved six stars when it was first produced during world war 2 on the radio in the 1940's in England. It is full of classic points and illustrations. Nevertheless, at least to me, is starting to show its age, and hence, I politely think there are other good alternatives.

A classic but feels a little dated

No wonder Lewis is considered one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. Apart from his butchered and shallow attempt to address evolution in this book, the rest of it is absolutely brilliant. The elegance, clarity and comprehensiveness of his logic is magnificent, compelling and convincing.
A must listen book.

Deep and crystal clear Christian logic.

Reader’s style too clipped and staccato for my taste. Overall still well worth it for this timeless classic
