“As we witness Lewis develop we find that these volumes are working as a kind of unconscious autobiography.” (Books & Culture)

“C. S. Lewis understood, like few in the past century, just how deeply faith is both imaginative and rational.” (Christianity Today)

“It’s not surprising that Lewis’s time-proven views are still flourishing whilst most other mid-20th-century works are nearly neglected.” (Wall Street Journal)

One of the preferred introductions to Christian faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide. The book brings together C. S. Lewis’s legendary broadcast talks of the war years, talks in which he set out simply to “give an explanation for and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians always.” Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity’s many de-nominations, Lewis provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. This is a collection of scintillating brilliance that remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the most leading writers and thinkers of our age.
