Publisher's summary

Mere Christianity is C.S. Lewis' forceful and accessible doctrine of Christian belief. First heard as informal radio broadcasts and then published as three separate books, The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality, Mere Christianity brings together what Lewis sees as the fundamental truths of the religion. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, C.S. Lewis finds a common ground on which all those who have Christian faith can stand together, proving that "at the center of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks with the same voice".

Critic reviews

"Geoffrey Howard's performance is superb; he is clear and unhurried, giving just the right emphasis and/or inflection....Whether or not one agrees with Lewis's arguments, it is a pleasure to hear such a skillful reading of an eloquent work." (Library Journal)

No less than earth shattering

My highest recommendation for all humans from about 16-116. Clearly laid case for why Christianity is true and consequently what that means and what we should do about it.

Christian theology at is best.

C S Lewis is one of the best Christian teachers out there. This is not a Bible study, but explains what it means to be a believer in Jesus Christ.

5 stars

C.S. Lewis is a profound writer and his logical steps to reveal a creator and also apply godly living are easily understood and very much applicable today. We are indebted to his work.

As a layman myself

I am no scholar or theologian. I am ordinary man who works in the market place every day. But I am also a Christian actively seeking God and who I should be, and what I should do as I live in this life, and in His kingdom life he had given in part to us now. But this is difficult when every day I am thrown into the cares of this life for myself and others. But Mere Christianity has given me great confidence in living my life as it is now, with all those troubles, and still have Christ live in and through me. Give Mere Christianity a listen if you truly want to find yourself in Christianity.

Incredible!!!

What a mind blowing knowledge breakdown by C. S. Lewis

If you need to read just one book to get the foundation of Christianity, then this is the perfect resource.

Amazing audio book

I’ve been wanting to read this book for so long but thought I may be bored with the paper version. Finally caved and got the audio version. I adored this book. I should not have put off reading it. I’m not one to re read a book but will with this one.
