C. S. Lewisin teos ”Ihmisyyden tuho” tarkastelee 1900-luvun alun yliopistomaailman aatevirtauksia, joista osa vaikuttaa kulttuurissamme edelleen. Lewis kritisoi erityisesti ajatusta, jonka mukaan kieli ilmaisee vain puhujan tunteita eikä todellisuutta. Hän väittää, että ääriliikkeet, kuten kommunismi ja fasismi, ammentavat tästä ajattelutavasta. Näissä ideologioissa ei enää pyritä ymmärtämään maailmaa sellaisena kuin se on, vaan sitä pyritään muokkaamaan omien mieltymysten ja halujen mukaiseksi.Lewis argumentoi, että tämä näkemys on sisäisesti ristiriitainen, koska se väittää olevansa ylivertainen kuvaus todellisuudesta samalla kun se kieltää mahdollisuuden esittää todellisuutta koskevia pysyviä arvostelmia. Sen sijaan Lewis puolustaa realismia, jonka mukaan maailma on olemassa erillään meidän sitä koskevista tulkinnoista, ja oikea ja väärä eivät ole vain mieltymyksiä tai makuasioita. Hän päättää teoksensa kuitenkin pessimistisesti, uskoen, että käsitys pysyvistä ja sitovista arvoista hiljalleen murentuu, ja että tämä tapahtuu tieteen, edistyksen ja kaiken muun hyvän nimissä.

Though Easter (like Christmas) is often trivialized by the culture at large, it is still the high point of the religious calendar for millions of people around the world.

Fifty-two readings on living in intentional Christian community to spark group discussion.Gold Medal Winner, 2017 Illumination Book Awards, Christian LivingSilver Medal Winner, 2017 Benjamin Franklin Award in Religion, Independent Book Publishers AssociationWhy, in an age of connectivity, are our lives more isolated and fragmented than ever? And what can be done about it? The answer lies in the hands of God’s people. Increasingly, today’s Christians want to be the church, to follow Christ together in daily life. From every corner of society, they are daring to step away from the status quo and respond to Christ’s call to share their lives more fully with one another and with others. As they take the plunge, they are discovering the rich, meaningful life that Jesus has in mind for all people, and pointing the church back to its original calling: to be a gathered, united community that demonstrates the transforming love of God.Of course, such a life together with others isn’t easy. The selections in this volume are, by and large, written by practitioners—people who have pioneered life in intentional community and have discovered in the nitty-gritty of daily life what it takes to establish, nurture, and sustain a Christian community over the long haul.Whether you have just begun thinking about communal living, are already embarking on sharing life with others, or have been part of a community for many years, the pieces in this collection will encourage, challenge, and strengthen you. The book’s fifty-two chapters can be read one a week to ignite meaningful group discussion.Contributors include: John F. Alexander, Eberhard Arnold, J.

Shortly after his conversion in 1929, C. S. Lewis wrote to a friend, "When all is said (and truly said) about the divisions of Christendom, there remains, by God's mercy, an enormous common ground." From that time on, Lewis thought that the best service he could provide for his unbelieving neighbors was to explain and defend the faith that has been shared by nearly all Christians at all times. Christian Reflections contains fourteen of Lewis's papers defending Christianity. They are colorfully varied, covering such topics as Christianity and literature, ethics, futility, church music, the Psalms, and petitionary prayer. Common to them all, however, are the uniquely effective style of C. S. Lewis and the basic presuppositions of his theology -- his "mere" Christianity.
