    Lewis Mere Christianity

    of the ideas behind Christianity. He doesn’t just state the details and places where the faith has shown up and grown in his life. Lewis goes deep into the concepts that form his beloved faith. In his book Mere Christianity, he spends a lot of the the beginning of the book talking about human nature. He uses this subject to start at the basics of the Christian faith so he can go into greater detail later. He talks about the natural belief of what is right and what is wrong. For instance, most believe that it would be right to hold the door for someone with their arms full and wrong to not hold the door and watch them struggle. The thing is, though, that our natural beliefs get in the way…

    these talks as three separate works: Broadcast Talks (1942), Christian Behavior (1943), and Beyond Personality (1944). Eventually, Lewis merged the trio into a single body: Mere Christianity. This piece housed a preface, a foreword, and four distinct “books” that each targeted a separate portion of Christian theology. Prior to the primary reading, the Preface described Lewis’s process of transposing his spoken words into written text, and the Foreword provided Kathleen Norris’s favorable view…

    Among the many topics Lewis discussed in his book Mere Christianity, one topic that was most prominent with this author is Lewis’ discussion on Moral Law or the Law of Human nature. According to Lewis (1952), Moral Law, or the Law of Human Nature tells human beings what they ought to do, and what they ought not to do, and is described as something that is above and beyond the auspices of actual facts and human behavior (p. 21). In other words, Moral Law is not something human beings invented,…

    Lewis Mere Christianity

    • 1716 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Lewis’ Mere Christianity is such a powerful message and a truly magnificent introduction to Christianity. He doesn’t sugarcoat the truth but speaks boldly with love, grace, and conviction. Dividing his book into four parts, Lewis discusses the foundation of Christian belief and theology. In the first section “Right And Wrong As A Clue To The Meaning Of The Universe”, Lewis argues that every man is born with a sense of morality, a moral compass. He goes on to contend that if a moral law…

    Mere Christianity Analysis

    • 6 Pages

    Book Three: Morality C.S. Lewis’ book three of Mere Christianity is the most insightful of all the books thus far. C.S. Lewis combines many depths of morality that most do not dare to approach. Morality must be fully understood by all people regardless of religion. All people must understand it exists because of evil, and last but not least, all learn about morality in their own way. However, these points can be helpful to religious and nonreligious individuals. Ernest Hemingway states it…

    Zombies, nuclear explosions, black holes. There are many theories on how the world will end. As Christians, we have the opportunity to look at prophecy in the Bible to have an idea of what the end will be like. However, the Bible can be confusing or unclear, allowing for multiple interpretations. Considering the end of time, we will look at four different views on what the millennium is and where it is placed on the timeline. The first timeline we will look at is the post-tribulation, or…

    1. Share your observations and impressions of the book and Lewis’s argument. The book "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis offers an insight into the Christian world that I, and many other teenagers and even adults, probably have never even thought about or considered. When first reading the book I was frustrated with C.S. Lewis. The way he explained things made me feel as if he was trying to reach out to me, and any other reader, as if we were completely clueless to Christianity. But, as I…

    The book Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis brought up numerous points about human nature, Christian belief, and the Christian lifestyle. While I enjoyed learning more about facets of Christianity which I had never thought about before, I found the writing style to be rather boring. Lewis makes several comparisons when making a single point, so following his logic was rather difficult. However, when it comes down to the points that Lewis made, the book was well worth reading. My initial thoughts…

    I read Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. It was published by HarperCollins Publishers. It was published by HarperCollins Publishers in New York City in 2001. There are two hundred and twenty-seven pages. This book was a 7. I gave this book a 7 first because it was a really good book. It explains very difficult things with illustrations that make sense. The reason it did not score higher is that I did get bored occasionally because it was not a storyline but individual ideas discussed. It was at…

    C.S. Lewis, author of “Mere Christianity,” stands alone from many other authors of Christian literature. Instead of opinionated doctrine convoluted to nonsense, Lewis offers a logical approach to the Christian view of life. Yet, he does this without hardly mentioning Christianity itself in the whole first book. By then, however, he has already convinced me that he is right and that there can be no other God but the God of the Christian faith. Lewis does this by breaking down the moral law. The…
