Author: C. S. Lewis

Sometimes I can be clueless. I grew up reading the Chronicles of Narnia, but, at seven, had no concept that it was all a metaphor for Christianity.

Still, I’d read The Screwtape Letters one summer when there was nothing else to read, so I was reasonably familiar, I thought, with Lewis’s style.

Then Fr. Bob recommended Mere Christianity as a good introduction to the tenets of the Christian fath, and what I found wasn’t some dry old English guy proselytizing, but a collection of witty radio addresses on the basics of faith.

I’m not sure I’d recommend this to the general public, but if you’re leaning towards the Episcopal church, this should definitely be part of your reading list.
