About this listen

2012 marks the 60th Anniversary of the publication of C.S.Lewis’s classic, Mere Christianity. Having sold over half a million copies in the UK alone, his overview of Christianity has been imitated many time, but never bettered.

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’. A brilliant collection, the book remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writer and thinkers of our age.

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. This scintiallating collection confirms C.S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writers and thinkers of our age.

Critic reviews

“He has quite a unique power for making theology an attractive, exciting and fascinating quest.” Times Literary Supplement

“Lewis seeks in Mere Christianity to help us see religion with fresh eyes, as a radical faith whose adherents might be likened to an underground group gathering in a war zone, a place where evil seems to have the upper hand, to hear messages of hope from the other side.” Kathleen Norris

This book re-engineered by thinking and helped strengthen my faith in God. It was great!

Phenomenal

Really good book, the philosophical and moral angle CS Lewis uses at the beginning of the book is refreshing and helpful. If you're a Christian it allows to see things from a philosophical and very relatable point of view that you can share with non-christians and other christians alike. Towards the later half of the books Lewis's thoughts on sexual desire are interesting.

Worth reading regardless on your religious disposition

Geoffrey Howard is a very competent narrator and this book is the most elucidative book (about christianity) I've read.
The audio version made the book more enjoyable.

A life changing experience!
