<transcy>The foundations of Christianity (Les fondements du christianisme)</transcy>
Presentation
Here is the best of C.S. Lewis on the biblical, theological and Christian approach to great human questions. He delivers us an intelligent and apologetic reassessment of what remains true of all times, but constantly tossed about by fashions and ambient ideologies. Since you have to find your bearings, here are the foundations of Christianity.
The previously edited volumes 1 and 2 are gathered here in one volume.
Author
Clive Staples Lewis, born in Ireland in 1898, converted to Christianity during his university studies. Professor of English literature at the University of Oxford and then Cambridge, he is the author of numerous books on Christian reflection, literary criticism, as well as fiction for adults and children. CS Lewis' novels demonstrate a rarely equaled sense of imagination, as in the Chronicles of Narnia whose first volume was brought to the screen in France in 2005. Died in 1963, his books are widely used. edited today, translated into 30 languages.
Recommendation
The apologetic skill of C.S. Lewis lies in the fact that he, as a good tactician, takes his readers from the back. They already agree with his reasoning when they realize that, if they want to be consistent with themselves and with the author, they must be prepared to reconsider the premises on which they have built their lives. t3>
