C. S. Lewis

Mere Christianity (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide.

The book brings together C. S. Lewis's legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."

Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, Mere Christianity provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.

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.

Rezensionen

"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 is not surprising that Lewis's time-proven views are still flourishing while most other mid-20th-century works are nearly neglected." - Wall Street Journal

"Where would the Christian thinker be without Lewis? He is pivotal." - Jan Karon, author of the bestselling series The Mitford Years
