Mere Christianity

MERE CHRISTIANITY

by C.S. Lewis

What’s the core of Christianity, beyond all the denominations, doctrines, and traditions? In this timeless classic, C.S. Lewis—an atheist-turned-believer—uses reason and real-life analogies to strip Christianity down to its essence. He answers questions like: Is there a reason to believe God exists? What’s humanity’s true purpose? What does it mean to live as a Christian?

In this summary, you’ll learn:
• The moral case for God: Why we instinctively believe in right and wrong, and how that points to a Higher Power.
• Core Christian beliefs: What Christians believe about God, Jesus, good and evil, why Jesus had to die, and how God is working to transform humanity from the inside out.
• The goal and essence of Christian living: Including the why, what, and how of key Christian virtues like faith, hope, and charity.

Who should read this:
• Skeptics and seekers open to exploring the case for God and the core of Christian belief.
• Christians who want to understand their faith more deeply beyond tradition or denomination.
• Anyone wrestling with life’s big questions, such as morality, suffering, identity, and spiritual transformation.
