Mere Christianity
Dr. Michael Ward takes us deeper into Mere Christianity and offers insightful reflections on one of Lewis’s most popular works. Interestingly, Mere Christianity was not even originally written to be a book. It arose out of four sets of radio addresses that Lewis gave on the BBC during some very stressful years of World War II, from 1941 to 1944. Lewis had these published as separate little booklets soon after the broadcasts. But it was not until 1952 that he collected them into one volume with a new introduction as Mere Christianity.
