"Kan man vara kristen?" (Mere Christianity) av C S Lewis

"Christianity tells people to repent and promises them forgiveness. It therefore has nothing (as far as I know) to say to people who do not know they have done anything to repent of and who do not feel that they need any forgiveness. It is after you have realized that there is a Moral Law, and a power behind the law, and that you have broken that law and put yourself wrong with that Power—it is after all this, and not a moment sooner that Christianity begins to talk.
When you know you are sick, you will listen to the doctor. When you have realized that our position is nearly desperate you will begin to understand what the Christians are talking about."

C. S. Lewis, en av vår tids största tänkare, är verkligen en av mina absoluta favoritförfattare! Han står inte bara bakom Narnia-böckerna, utan en mängd fantastiska böcker: En av dessa är "Kan man vara kristen?", med orginaltiteln "Mere Christianity". Liksom Lewis alla böcker är denna bok helt enkelt...fantastisk! Gissa om jag blev glad när jag fann att hela denna bok är inläst på Youtube!!  Listen, learn and enjoy!
