“These are the two points I want to make. First, that human beings all over the earth, have this basic understanding that we ought to do what is right regarding how we treat others. Second, that we do not always behave that way. We know what we ought to do, but we do not do it. These two facts are the foundation to all clear thinking about ourselves, God, and the universe we live in.” –C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) was a British writer, literary scholar and theologian. He is best known for writing the Chronicles of Narnia. Baptized as an infant, Lewis became an atheist at 15 years old because he was angry at God both for not existing and for creating such a terrible world. He became a Christian “kicking, struggling, and resentful” at 33 years old, influenced by friends like J.R.R. Tolkien and various writings. "Mere Christianity" is Lewis’ compelling apologetic for Christianity. For Lewis, Christianity is neither easy nor simple. Rather, it is demanding and risky. In this sermon series, Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka will explore Lewis' arguments for a Christian faith that is a radical reordering of our lives.
