What Christians Believe

By: C. S. Lewis

Narrated by: Ralph Cosham

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.

Critic reviews

“If wit and wisdom, style and scholarship are requisites…Mr. Lewis will be among the angels.” ( New Yorker)

“I read Lewis for comfort and pleasure many years ago, and a glance into the books revives my old admiration.” (John Updike)

Incredible.

Lewis gets straight to the heart of what being Christian actually is. He hits the hard stuff swiftly and doesn't waste time. He uses solid logic around the issues he had as a believer and when he didn't believe. It's a fast listen and absolutely wonderful.

Very great subject matter

Great subject, great book. Good and clear narration if a little robotic. Will listen again.

Well Said!

Concise overview, that challenges the world and religion in the main things in a simple ways.

Excellent Short “Read”

I’ve been meaning to read this essay for a long time. Thank you, audible for making it available and unabridged. A great quick “read” with a good narrator. I actually listened twice and definitely recommend it.

Material from “Mere Christianity”

Good selection from a good book with a good narrator, and it’s free. If you don’t feel like a full listen of “Mere Christianity” then this is a good concise version.
