Esta obra poderosa y práctica es una de las más populares y queridas introducciones a la fe cristiana jamás escrita Mero Cristianismo reúne las legendarias charlas radiofónicas de C. S. Lewis que se transmitieron durante tiempos de guerra, charlas en las cuales él se proponía ""explicar y defender las creencias que han sido común a casi todos los cristianos de todos los tiempos."" Rechazando los límites que dividen las distintas denominaciones del cristianismo, C. S. Lewis ofrece una inigualable oportunidad al creyente y al no creyente para escuchar un argumento fuerte y racional para la fe cristiana. Esta es una colección de la genialidad de Lewis que aún se mantiene viva para el lector moderno y que a la vez confirma su reputación como el escritor y pensador más importante de nuestros tiempos.

This was definitely unlike I expected. The only other work by Lewis I'd read was Narnia, and from the way my high school teachers talked about him, I guess I had this rigid, traditional view of C.S. Lewis and so I thought this book would just be kind of like that, but it wasn't at all. I found this book very interesting although admittedly a little too analytical for my abstract brain at times. Nevertheless, it wasn't tedious to read at all; however, I felt like I had to be in a certain mind frame in order to read it and comprehend most of what he was saying.

I think this is a good book for nonbelievers who are very logical and reasoning. It goes through the core of Christian beliefs gradually in a logical manner posing well thought out questions and answers. ( )

I think you'd have to be pretty malicious to deny the man's good intentions or to suggest there aren't any interesting ideas here. And yet, the thing is almost shockingly naive. He starts with some reasonable, if questionable, ideas about basic ethics and morality, but by the time he actually gets to discussing the "atonement" and the trinity, he ends up sounding like some backwoods redneck raised on gospel radio and Billy Graham. He often mentions that we should not think like children, and yet his ideas about God and Jesus are like Santa Claus and Superman. And his ideas about other religions reeks of Western superiority. Which, given everything that happened between the UK and India over the few decades before the book was written, is particularly crass. Gandhi, Besant, Krishnamurti--all of that was current. There was absolutely no reason to be so ignorant about Hinduism, Buddhism, or even Islam, if there ever was. The odd thing is that his Narnia books seem to contain so much more than these extremely narrow views. ( )

A good summary of the primary aspects of christianity as well as a breakdown of many of the arguments for and against. ( )

There are a few things I disagree with here, but C. S. Lewis isn't a popular and well-loved author for nothing. Initially an Atheist, he's thoroughly thought through many of the doubts and debates and come up with what I consider soundly reasoned explanations of Christian beliefs. ( )

Mere Christianity is full of memorable and powerful revelations that elucidate the foundations of Christian theology, our relationship to God, and the meaning of life. Only C.S. Lewis could summarize such broad concepts so eloquently without coming across as overly-religious or preachy. His extraordinary ability to focus on the core tenets of Christianity and explain them with remarkable ease reinforces the wide appeal of his writings.

Regarding man's relationship with and need for God:

God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just not good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

Regarding true happiness and freedom:

The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free.

On pursuing truth and finding comfort in our lives:

In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth -- only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair.

In a world that is often hostile to religion, particularly the Christian faith, Mere Christianity stands as a testament to truth, love, faith, and the value of human life; its enduring and inspiring message shines like a beacon, guiding and helping all those who have eyes to see and ears to listen.
 
Mere Christianity is a long walk, through which Lewis holds your hand the entire time. It isn’t so much long in size (my copy is 191 pages) as it is in attention to detail. Lewis begins with human nature, the law, the ability to discern between right and wrong, and step-by-step, slowly but surely, comes to understand Christianity and God manifested all the way down to, by the end of the book, our daily lives and our every moments...Lewis does more than just “prove” Christianity, if you will. In establishing the Christian God as the only reasonable solution to, you know, everything going on in the universe ever, Lewis provides and expounds upon a context through which things like forgiveness, sexual morality, charity, hope, and faith can all be understood more fully in their role in the church.
 
I am well aware of Lewis' writing talent and he is clearly an intelligent individual, so I feel unqualified to "critique" Mr. Lewis. However, I would like to comment on why, at least for me, Lewis' arguments for the existence of God are uncompelling.
 
Cotton candy apologetics - engaging and conversational but shallow.

You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
A man who jibbed at authority in other things as some people do in religion would have to be content to know nothing all his life.
The bad psychological material is not a sin but a disease. It does not need to be repented of, but to be cured... Human beings judge one another by their external actions. God judges them by their moral choices.
We must get over wanting to be needed: in some goodish people, specially women, that is the hardest of all temptations to resist.
How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different are the saints.
