In today's episode, we explore portions of the famous book Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. This is one of my favourite books and one that I recommend everyone read, especially if you are going to be dealing with Apologetics. In this episode, we discuss why Lewis came to believe in God, the war between good and evil, the necessity of free will in order for love to exist, his unique take on the Incarnation, and much more.

You buy Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis here or at any major Christian book store.
