Publisher's Summary

Master storyteller and essayist C. S. Lewis here tackles the central questions of the Christian faith: Who was Jesus? What did he accomplish? What does it mean for me?

In these classic essays, which began as talks on the BBC during World War II, Lewis creatively and simply explains the basic tenets of Christianity. Taken from the core section of Mere Christianity, this book provides an accessible way for people to discover these timeless truths. For those looking to remind themselves of what they hold true, or those looking for a snapshot of Christianity, this book is a wonderful introduction to the faith.

Clear, brief and to the point

Very easy to read/listen to, What Christians Believe, is my first CS Lewis book and it will not be my last (although I did read his autobiography by Alister McGrath, and can highly recommend it as well).

Enjoy Chesterton’s clear perspective

Each point is disected and revealed so clearly that it transforms once vague theological concepts into obvious and practical wisdom.

Great philosophical insights

Great summarization of the key points in Christianity and religion more broadly. CS Lewis combines simple analogies and metaphors with insight that'll make any atheist think twice.
