C. S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity": A Biography

C. S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity": A Biography

2016

Short review: I like this series. But the series does seem to follow a standard outline. A short section of biography about the author, the story of the writing and overview of the content, a summary of the response and objections, and the spread of the book. All three that I have read have basically been the same format. But the format works.

The series also seems to hire really good authors, which does matter. There was not a ton that was new to me here. I have read a number of Lewis biographies and a significant portion of Lewis' work. But even without a lot of new material, this was an enjoyable read. This is probably best for people that know a bit about Lewis and Mere Christianity, but have not read a lot of Lewis' biography.
