Book Reviews of Mere Christianity
Book Review: "Mere Assertion" would be a better title
Summary: 1 Stars
If C.S. Lewis is, as a previous reviewer put it, "perhaps the twentieth century's finest Christian writer" that may go a long way towards explaining why Christianity continues to lose adherents. This book is, quite frankly, worthless. From the opening in which he argues that since we all share a sense of right and wrong (unsupported assertion) it must have a supernatural source (Non Sequitur), to the "lord/liar/lunatic" argument (commonly known since the book's publication as "Lewis's False Trilemma"), he doesn't miss the chance to fall into an obvious and easily refuted logical fallacy at every turn. Whatever one's opinion of Christianity, it deserves a better defense than this.Lewis may have had a marvelous way with words, but as a logician or a theologian, he's simply appalling. While this book may appeal to the already converted on an emotional level, it's unlikely to influence any non-believer who posseses the slightest grasp of logic and reason.
