Mere Christianity

De: C. S. Lewis

Narrado por: Geoffrey Howard

Mere Christianity is C.S. Lewis' forceful and accessible doctrine of Christian belief. First heard as informal radio broadcasts and then published as three separate books, The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality, Mere Christianity brings together what Lewis sees as the fundamental truths of the religion. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, C.S. Lewis finds a common ground on which all those who have Christian faith can stand together, proving that "at the center of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks with the same voice".©1942 C.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Geoffrey Howard's performance is superb; he is clear and unhurried, giving just the right emphasis and/or inflection....Whether or not one agrees with Lewis's arguments, it is a pleasure to hear such a skillful reading of an eloquent work." (Library Journal)

This Book will change your life!

Where does Mere Christianity rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is not only the best audio book I have ever listened to, it is the best book I have ever read. This is the powerful work of an honest genius. We as a people have been blessed buy the integrity and talent of this man. I wish I could have spent an hour talking to him, but the next best thing is reading this book, or listening to it. After listening to the book I bought a copy, and gave my kids a copy.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Mere Christianity?

How C.S. Lewis reasoned his way to the knowledge that Christ was really who he said he was. How CS came to the faith in Christ at an advanced age rather than as a Child.

Have you listened to any of Geoffrey Howard’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is a good telling of the book.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me take 9 graduate courses in apologetics and read or listen to 150 books and papers on the topic and listen to hundreds of hours of lectures and debates. This is an amazing work.

Any additional comments?

Christians or non Christians, read/listen to the book, you will be enriched.

Mandatory Reading

The narration of this audio book was superb. But fair more important is the excellent content. Mere Christianity should be mandatory reading for all Christians. Christian High School teachers should incorporate it into their literature and/or Bible curriculum. Moreover, Christian colleges should not abandon this tried and true book. Lewis was an apologist for God and the gospel before the title was popular to adopt and before students could major in Apologetics. I have read the book several times and got more out of again through the audio book.

not a mere classic

Great book and the narration was wonderful. A good book to re-read. highly recommend it

I put this one off Too Long!

If you could sum up Mere Christianity in three words, what would they be?

Inspiring, Eye Opening

Any additional comments?

I regret that I did not go ahead and listen to this book before now. Of course there are differences of opinion on some minor points, but Mr. Lewis had a God given talent to explain things that open your eyes to a whole new way of thinking about a subject that you may not have considered. My only regret now is that there is not ten stars to rate this book, because in my humble opinion this book is twice the book of most good books.

Excellent!

the best exposotion of Christian fundamentals ive ever heard, in terms of conveing an understanding and in terms of its breadth and depth in the key areas i didnt know i was missing before. highly recommend

True Christianity

Best explanation of Christianity ever. I will listen to this again and again until I have absorbed it all.

A Must Read

Mere Christianity is a must read for Christian’s and nonChristian’s alike. C.S. Lewis adds clarity to important debating points. While also distilling confusing questions into logical and fruitful directions. Geoffrey Howard narrated this audiobook with precision and liveliness. Overall great story and performance.

Wow

This book was recommended to my long ago and I’ve procrastinated listening to it. I absolutely want the paperback edition to go back and study more. His explanation of the trinity was amazing. I re-listened to it twice because it just made it make sense to me. Highly recommend this book to everyone!

Will listen again and again

I feel that with each reading (or listening) my brain absorbs something in a fascinatingly different direction from when I read/listened before. Almost as though C.S Lewis reaches through and gives me/where I am during the point of my reading/listening a bit of a nod, or acknowledgement of my particular circumstances. It’s what simple people call “eerie” and what I feel is the Holy Spirit.

Incisive listening endeavor!

I have not known that CS Lewis can expound biblical teachings like this, explaining them in a manner that is both logical and accessible.
