An interactive data visualization of Mere Christianity 's plot and themes. Brief Biography of C. Lewis C. Lewis was born and raised in Ireland. He attended Oxford University, where he distinguished himself as a scholar of English, Classics, and Philosophy. Lewis fought in World War I, and, partly as a result of the carnage he witnessed, he was an atheist for most of his twenties. For more than thirty years, Lewis taught at Oxford University. During this time, he converted to the Anglican Church, and became an articulate proponent of Christian values. Over the course of his life he wrote poetry, essays, literature, autobiography, fantasy, science fiction, and non-fiction works of academic criticism, philosophy, and Christian apologetics.
Download it! Other Books Related to Mere Christianity The book takes inspiration from many famous Christian works of literature and philosophy. The late classical philosopher Boethius composed The Consolation of Philosophy in the weeks leading up to his execution for treason. While the book makes no specific references to Christ, Christian thinkers have celebrated Boethius for pioneering Christian theology. Consider also the differences concerning human sacrifice. However, the Aztecs and ourselves both believe that we have a prima facie obligation not to kill people. The Aztecs, however, believed that there were gods who had the right to demand human sacrifices, and when they are demanded, the duty not to kill is overridden by the moral requirement to do what the gods command.
The Abrahamic tradition, going back to, well, Abraham, maintains that the true God does not make those sorts of demands. Think of a country where people were admired for running away in battle, or where a man felt proud of doublecrossing all the people who had been kindest to him. You might as well imagine a country in where two and two made five.

Men have differed as regards what people you ought to be unselfish to—whether it was only your own family, or your fellow countrymen, or everyone. But they have always agreed that you ought not to put yourself first. Selfishness has never been admired. Men have differed as to whether you should have one wife or four. But they have always agreed that you must not simply have any woman you liked.
The third argument for moral objectivity is the Argument from Reformers. There have been reformers in the history of the human race whom we believe to have improved our understanding of what is right and wrong. An example mine would be Rosa Parks. Because of her stand, and that of Martin Luther King and other leaders of the civil rights movements, laws were changed in such a way as to require equal treatment under the law. But if you think that the laws of the state of Alabama are more just today than they were when Rosa refused to give up her seat, then you are applying an objective standard of justice.
So the argument is: 1. If moral values are subjective, then moral codes cannot improve, since there is no objective standard by which to judge one code better than another. But the work of people like Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks shows that moral codes can be made more just. Therefore, moral values are objective rather than subjective.

Friday, December 5, Richard Dawkins on the Trilemma. From p. A common argument, attributed among others to C. Or, with artless alliteration, "Lunatic, Liar or Lord'. Wrong already. Lewis doesn't use the argument as a theistic argument. It's an argument for Christ's divinity, or perhaps even less than that, an argument against a certain misunderstandings of who Jesus was. The historical evidence that Jesus claimed any sort of divine status is minimal.
Supporting argument for this claim please? But even if that evidence were good, the trilemma on offer would be ludicrously inadequate. A fourth possibility, almost too obvious to need mentioning, is that Jesus was honestly mistaken. Plenty of people are. In any case, as I said, there is no good historical evidence that he ever thought he was divine. OK, so now we get the head-slap argument.
There's a third option, he was sincerely mistaken! I never thought of that, therefore I disappear in a puff of logic! Let's see, if I were to tell my intoductory philosophy class that I was God almighty, they wouldn't call the men in the white coats to come and take me away. They'd just figure I was sincerely mistaken. The fact that something is written down is persuasive to people not used to asking questions like" 'Who wrote it, and when? All were written long after the death of Jesus, and also after the epistles of Paul, which mention almost none of the alleged facts of Jesus' life.
All were then copied and recopied, through many scribes who, in any case, had their own religious agendas.
[Review] Discussing Mere Christianity
An effective refutation of everyone from C. Wright and Joachim Jeremias?? Many theologians and biblical scholars have studied the evidence and the arguments and concluded that the Scriptures are largely reliable. Dawkins makes it sound like there is some kind of a consensus here. There is a consensus amongst those with Humean presuppositions. Big deal. Lewis himself was one of the leading literary critics of his time. He offered reasons, based on his reading of a lot of ancient literature, that the NT was, as ancient documents go, a reliable document.

He could be very wrong, but he can't be refuted by the kind of hand-waving two-paragraph argument Dawkins offers. Read the two Stephen Davis articles on the trilemma, and even the Howard-Snyder essay that is critical of Davis, and contrast it with this two-paragraph demolition by Dawkins, and ask yourself which of these two men has done his homework.
It may be that although Lewis's argument was rhetorically stronger using this multiple choice format, I prefer changing to to a fill in the blank.

Given what the Scriptures say that Jesus said an implied about himself, what could he have been if he wasn't God. It's one thing to mention a possibility, it's another to show that, on close examination, that alternative is plausible. But hey, there could be still more. Bring them on!
