Dr. Robert W. Kellemen5 Stars Out Of 5May 3, 2005Dr. Robert W. KellemenThough over sixty years old (in their first incarnation as radio broadcasts), C. S. Lewis' insights into the validity of Christianity remain as current as today's internet blogs. "Mere Christianity" answers the intellectual questions of post-modern intellectuals and provides nourishment for the spiritual hunger of Gen X/Gen Y seekers. Lewis writes in the style of his intellectual mentor, G. K. Chesterton. Both men entered adulthood as agnostics. Both men spent their careers defending the rational integrity of Christianity. Chesterton's "Orthodoxy" addressed the questions typical of the agnosticism of his era (1900). Lewis' "Mere Christianity" addresses the hardened agnosticism of his WW II generation. Like Chesterton, Lewis not only discusses how Christianity is rationally consistent, but also how it meets the "real world/real hunger" test. That is, he demonstrates how Christianity is relationally fulfilling, meaningful, and consistent. "Mere Christianity" also reads something like a Christian version of Plato's "Republic." In the "Republic," Plato attempted to define the shape of a society that would produce "happiness"--meaningful, purposeful existence for the individual and the society. Philosophically, Lewis offers the Christian version of the ideal individual, in the ideal society, following the ideal Supreme Being. Stepping back and seeing the big picture, you finish "Mere Christianity" and realize, "Christianity really does make sense. It works. It fits the world as it is and the world as we wish it to be." Reviewer: Dr. Robert W. Kellemen, author of "Soul Physicians" and "Spiritual Friends."

MraziyenAge: Under 18Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Mind-blowingJune 25, 2012MraziyenAge: Under 18Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This book explains the inexplainable. When the Christian finds it difficult to accept certain doctrine, CS Lewis--through logic-- was able to explain it! It's unbelievable, what new insights I got from this book. Everyone needs to read this, not just believers, but those who question Christianity as a whole. Great for those who want to become a Christian but find that their intellect is just getting in the way.
