Mere Christianity

I think one of the great contributions to current Christendom are the writings of C. S. Lewis. It was not only due to his wealthy creativity, or his nearly impeccable logic, or his vast reading in the classics, or his fluency in the ancient tongues, but that he had a sense of what made up in Baxter's phrase, Mere Christianity. He did see the sense of what this faith was at its core. And that core was Christ. This had to be. Without this Christ-core one was putting up sand castles with high tide in the forecast.
