EN: C. S. Lewis succeeds in this book in creating an accessible introduction to Christianity, particularly aimed at those who call themselves “atheists” and who, when faced with precise questions, shift their ideology solely to attempt to undermine the credibility of the Christian faith.

RO: C. S. Lewis reușește, în această carte, să creeze o introducere accesibilă în creștinism, adresată în special celor care se declară „atei” și care, în fața unor întrebări precise, își schimbă ideologia doar pentru a încerca să submineze credibilitatea credinței creștine.

This turned out to just be the second half of Mere Christianity but it was good to read again. C.S. Lewis' lecturing writing style isn't my favorite, but his ability comprehend and explain complex religious topics is amazing.
