The first book Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe addresses the phenomenon of human quarrelling and how it demonstrates an existence of a common moral standard. The point of a quarrel is to prove the other man wrong and oneself right. "Right" and "wrong" imply a standard. Both quarrelers must accept the same standard, at least in principle, or else there would be no point. Other themes the first book addresses are “Moral law is just a herd instinct", "Why blame people for being imperfect, if that's just our nature?", "What is behind the universe is it more like a mind than it is like anything else we know.", and "Christianity simply does not make any sense until you have faced the sort of facts I have been describing."

The second book What Christians Believe deals with ideas like the attitude of a Christian and the first big division of humanity. Another topic addressed in the second book is Christ's death and re

The fourth book Beyond Personality: or first Steps in the Doctrine of the Trinity it describes theology like a map of God. The thing that matters is being drawn into that three-personal life. God is the object of our prayers. God is the impetus behind our prayers. God is the bridge leading to God. Another point that was discussed was the idea that "God is love" and that statement has no meaning unless God is multi-personal and love is interpersonal. One person loves another therefore there can be love with only one person. "God is not a static thing - not even a person - but a dynamic pulsating activity." In the fourth book Lewis leaves us with the idea that you must stop worrying about your own personality in order to come to Christ .You can only make good impression by not thinking about your impression. "Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it." But more than the idea of that previous statement are these words "Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead." The fourth book and its chapters were by far my favorite.

Lewis helps the reader to depend on God and strengthens their desires to turn things over to him. He offers some insight of Theology, aiding those searching to understand their faith, which in turn will allow their faith to grow. Lewis discusses hope and heightens Christian believers' desire for heaven. Readers will come away thankful for the earthly pleasures, but also knowing

I personally enjoyed the book Mere Christianity as a whole but I think that book four captured me unlike the rest of the book. C.S. Lewis makes an argument in chapter four, book four on how Christianity is like a good infection. Lewis goes on and says, “He comes to this world and became a man in order to spread to other men the kind of life He has-by what I call ‘good infection’. Every Christian is to become a little Christ. The whole purpose of becoming a Christian is simply nothing else”. This analogy is incomparable, and it fits in brilliantly with his argument. The interpretation I acquired from this quote was that Jesus had an infection in Him. As he went journeyed to different locations, he began to infect others. This infection takes in a completely different appearance than that of a harmful infection or carried disease, and instead is one that relieves people from their displacement with God, and grants forgiveness. When Jesus came to earth His infection spread and provided for a good outcome in the population of the time. This “plague” spread as a chain, linking everyone to Jesus, the originator of Christianity, and provided salvation on a new scale and available to all. Beforehand, salvation came with a handful of bureaucracies and ritualistic customs; however, Jesus makes salvation, forgiveness, and direct contact w
