Lewis wrote to a friend: "When all is said (and truly said) about the divisions of Christendom, there remains, by God's mercy, an enormous common ground." From that time on Lewis thought that the best service he could do for his unbelieving neighbours was to explain and defend the belief has been common to nearly all Christians at all times – that ënormous common ground" which he usually referred to as "mere" Christianity. Lewis was a thoroughgoing supernaturalist, believing in the creation, the fall, the Incarnation, the Resurrection, the Second Coming, and the Four Last Things (death, Judgement, Heaven, Hell). His defense of Christianity was colorfully varied, depending on which part of the line needed defending. To that part which seemed thinnest he naturally went, adapting his tactics to suit his audience. The consequent range and variety of his concerns are clearly evident in Christian Reflections. Presented in chronological order, the fourteen papers included in this collection were composed during the last twenty-odd years of the author's life. Some were written specifically for periodicals, while others, published here for the first time, were read to societies in and around Oxford and Cambridge. Common to them all, however, are the uniquely effective style of C. S. Lewis, and the basic presuppositions of his theology – his "mere" Christianity.  0aChristianityy20th century.1 aHooper, Walter,eed. a7bcbccorignewdueocipf19gy-gencatlg 2lccc31 c302054d302054 00102lcc4070a15b15c65d2024-03-21eDonación de los Franciscanosg0.00l0oBR 123 .L4824 1967ap41000000012626r2024-03-21 15:14:49w2024-03-21y31
