The Case For Christianity



C.S. Lewis, “The Case For Christianity”, Macmillan Publishing Co., INC. New York, 1943
This book was first delivered as an informal radio address during World War II. The Case for Christianity is C.S. Lewis's argument for the reasonableness of Christian faith. Lewis divides his case into two parts, "Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe" and "What Christians Believe. Lewis proposes that there must be a God because each of us has an ingrained sense of right and wrong which does not seem to be a trait other species share. The book is only 56 pages long so is an easy read. I have heard so much of Lewis over the years and that his case for Christianity is compelling that I wanted to read something of his on the subject, and this was it. An excellent book if you are singing to the choir; not so convincing to non-choir members.
