Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis's eloquent and winsome defense of
the Christian faith, originated as a series of BBC radio talks
broadcast during the dark days of World War Two. Here is the story
of the extraordinary life and afterlife of this influential and
much-beloved book. George Marsden describes how Lewis gradually
went from being an atheist to a committed Anglican--famously
converting to Christianity in 1931 after conversing into the night
with his friends J. R. R. Tolkien and Hugh Dyson--and how Lewis
delivered his wartime talks to a traumatized British nation in the
midst of an all-out war for survival. Marsden recounts how versions
of those talks were collected together in 1952 under the title Mere
Christianity, and how the book went on to become one of the most
widely read presentations of essential Christianity ever published,
particularly among American evangelicals. He examines its role in
the conversion experiences of such figures as Charles Colson, who
read the book while facing arrest for his role in the Watergate
scandal. Marsden explores its relationship with Lewis's Narnia
books and other writings, and explains why Lewis's plainspoken case
for Christianity continues to have its critics and ardent admirers
to this day. With uncommon clarity and grace, Marsden provides
invaluable new insights into this modern spiritual classic.
