Editorial Reviews

MAY 2011 - AudioFile

C.S. Lewis treats listeners to a snapshot of Christian beliefs. These classic essays, excerpted from his bestselling book MERE CHRISTIANITY, were originally heard over BBC Radio during WWII. Narrator Ralph Cosham delivers what Lewis views as the core teachings of the Christian gospel. Cosham captures Lewis's logic and witty writing style in comfortable vocal tones. His delivery engages the listener and gives legitimacy to Lewis’s views on morality, forgiveness, charity, hope, and faith. The production works as an introduction to the Christian faith or a review of its timeless truths. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

But, of course, being a Christian does mean thinking that where Christianity differs from other religions, Christianity is right and they are wrong. As in arithmetic-there is only one right answer to a sum, and all other answers are wrong; but some of the wrong answers are much nearer being right than others.

The first big division of humanity is into the majority, who believe in some kind of God or gods, and the minority who do not. On this point, Christianity lines up with the majoritylines up with ancient Greeks and Romans, modern savages, Stoics, Platonists, Hindus, Mohammedans, etc., against the modern Western European materialist.

Now I go on to the next big division. People who all believe in God can be divided according to the sort ...
