About this audiobook
The Beloved Classic on What All Christians Believe
One of the most popular introductions to Christian faith ever written, Mere Christianity brings together Lewis’s legendary broadcast talks during World War Two. Here, Lewis provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.
A collection of scintillating brilliance, Mere Christianity remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C.S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writers and thinkers of our age.
C. S. Lewis
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures. Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) fue uno de los intelectuales más importantes del siglo veinte y podría decirse que fue el escritor cristiano más influyente de su tiempo. Fue profesor particular de literatura inglesa y miembro de la junta de gobierno en la Universidad Oxford hasta 1954, cuando fue nombrado profesor de literatura medieval y renacentista en la Universidad Cambridge, cargo que desempeñó hasta que se jubiló. Sus contribuciones a la crítica literaria, literatura infantil, literatura fantástica y teología popular le trajeron fama y aclamación a nivel internacional. C. S. Lewis escribió más de treinta libros, lo cual le permitió alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aún atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada año. Sus más distinguidas y populares obras incluyen Las Crónicas de Narnia, Los Cuatro Amores, Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino y Mero Cristianismo.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love C.S. Lewis and all of his writings. Mere Christianity Is one of the greatest apologetics
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Timeless and still relevant today. With a very poignant breakdown of the Christian faith and our right standing with God, humanity, and evil.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked the book ? the narration was smooth and calm. The only thing preventing me from giving it a 5-star rating is some things I just didn't agree with. All in all, the book had much to glean from. I'd recommend for others to read and with a pinch of salt ?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good explanation of Christianity in a general sense from my point of view
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow, one of the best Christian books ever to be written
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A beginning of understanding Christianity. God gave C.S. Lewis understanding in a simple form, one with which encompasses our imaginations and brightens our view of biblical scripture. I do think he took Genesis 3:16 and 17 lightly concerning headship but that's for each individual to discover the truth. His last chapter sums up John 3:30 "He must increase and I must decrease." Given the context of that scripture, John the Baptist was contemplating his own views, desires, interests, and understanding of his position now that Christ had come into the world. We should all contemplate the divinity of Christ and our own understanding. "Lean not on your own understanding." This means in total, give Christ 100% attention and your own 0%. Take what His entire Word says in understanding that simple verse of John 3:30 and you'll discover how much the blind man in John 9 knew verses what the Pharisees grasped.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Man Transcends Time, lemme tell ya. Give it a jingle
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A good read. If your thinking about reading it DO IT! Worth it
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5He does a deep dive into divinity. If you’re ready for it, it’s amazing
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book. Very well written and reasoned. But still to the point!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The ideas/concepts were presented with great clarity, as was the reading. I have impaired hearing and at no point did I have any difficulty understanding what was said. Some significant ideas that Lewis held are now under dispute, for instance that the father in a family is always the ultimate authority. Nonetheless, the vast majority of the book is still timely, and Lewis had a real knack for explaining difficult concepts with exceptional simplicity. My personal understanding of Christianity does not always coincide with what he wrote, but we all have slightly different sets of beliefs, and the differences often inspired me to think. Highly recommended.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A book you can read over and over again and continue to gain more insight
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow, countless reasons that make this book so great!, although it may get to profound for the way it narrates and explores Christianity, it just hit me so many times and obviously there is divine wisdom here!
