Book Reviews of Mere Christianity
Book Review: Mere babbling
Summary: 2 Stars
After hearing great reviews on this book from many of my friends, I decided to give it a try. I was quite disappointed with the "wordiness" of the text. The author will make a loose and far from concise statement and then follow it up with an example that is completely disconnected from the scattered statement at the beginning. And to make matters worse the author will use another example to describe the first example and the secondary example will be even more disconnected and irrelevant than that of the first. This sequence is very repetitive on almost every page. It may have been one of the most frustrating readings I have ever encountered. I believe if I ran into a man on the street with schizophrenia and decided to jot down some notes on what he had to say about religion it may be a similar read.
I do understand that this was originally a radio address and then was converted into a book, but the author should have shaved off some of the original text and changed the format for presenting his information. I am not discouraging anyone not to read this book; it has impacted thousands of people positively. But if you are looking for an on point, concise, descriptive book about Christianity you may want to look elsewhere.
Summary of Mere Christianity
A forceful and accessible discussion of Christian belief that has become one of the most popular introductions to Christianity and one of the most popular of Lewis's books. Uncovers common ground upon which all Christians can stand together.In 1943 Great Britain, when hope and the moral fabric of society were threatened by the relentless inhumanity of global war, an Oxford don was invited to give a series of radio lectures addressing the central issues of Christianity. Over half a century after the original lectures, the topic retains it urgency. Expanded into book form, Mere Christianity never flinches as it sets out a rational basis for Christianity and builds an edifice of compassionate morality atop this foundation. As Mr. Lewis clearly demonstrates, Christianity is not a religion of flitting angels and blind faith, but of free will, an innate sense of justice and the grace of God.
