Discussing Mere Christianity Bible Study Guide: Exploring the History, Meaning, and Relevance of C.S. Lewis's Greatest Book

by Devin Brown

In this 8-session video group study, you will discover why Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis is one of the most read and beloved Christian books of all time. But seventy years later from when it was first delivered on radio, what relevance does it have to our world today? Host Eric Metaxas and a variety of Christian leaders (e.g. N.T. Wright, Tim Keller, Lauren Winner, Devin Brown, Paul McCusker, Douglas Gresham) help us understand the timeless message of C.S. Lewis in fresh ways for a new generation.

The first purpose of this video study is to explore the positive ideas that C.S. Lewis has so eloquently written about in Mere Christianity for those who already call themselves Christian. The second purpose is to explain in an engaging, winsome and non-threatening way the basic tenants of the Christian faith as illustrated by C.S. Lewis to those who do not claim to be Christian. This study aims to fulfill the vision of C.S. Lewis of reaching people from all faith backgrounds.

This little volume is a study guide for individuals and groups who are reading C.S. Lewis' classic book, "Mere Christianity". (I am currently involved in such a study group). It contains 8 sessions which cover 2 chapters per session. Only selected chapters in Lewis' book are covered, but I would strongly urge anyone who has gotten far into it, to read Lewis' entire book. In any case, the book provides excellent commentary on the chapters covered, along with a number of discussion questions. There is also an accompanying dvd which my group has been viewing prior to our discussions.
