Mere Christianity

Oct. 5-26, 2025

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) was a British writer, literary scholar and theologian. He is best known for writing The Chronicles of Narnia. Baptized as an infant, Lewis became an atheist at 15 years old because he was angry at God both for not existing and for creating such a terrible world. He became a Christian “kicking, struggling, and resentful” at 33 years old, influenced by friends like J.R.R. Tolkien and various writings. Mere Christianity is Lewis’ compelling apologetic for Christianity. For Lewis, Christianity is not easy or simple. Rather, it is demanding and risky. In this sermon series, Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka will explore Lewis’ arguments for a Christian faith that is a radical reordering of our lives.
