C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity is a perfect example of one of the
most effective aspects of critical thinking skills: the use of
reasoning to build a strong, logical argument. Lewis originally
wrote the book as a series of radio talks given from 1942-1944, at
the height of World War II. The talks were designed to lay out the
most basic tenets of Christianity for listeners, and to use these
to make a logical argument for Christian belief and Christian
ethics. While Lewis was not an academically-trained theologian or
philosopher (specializing instead in literature), his own
experience of converting from atheism to Christianity, along with
his wide reading and incisive questioning, power a charming but
persuasive argument for his own beliefs. Whether or not one agrees
with Lewis's arguments or shares his faith, Mere Christianity
exemplifies one of the most useful aspects of good reasoning:
accessibility. When using reasoning to construct a convincing
argument, it is crucial that your audience follow you, and Lewis
was a master at constructing well-organised arguments that are
immediately understandable to readers. The beautifully written Mere
Christianity is a masterclass in cogently walking an audience
through an elegant and well thought-through piece of reasoning.
