倘若个人只能活七十岁,一个可能会存在一千年的国家、民族或文明就比个人重要。但是如果基督教说得对,个人就不但更重要,而且不知要重要多少倍,因为他有永生,与他相比,一个国家、文明的寿命只是一瞬间。
最长的弯路也是最近的归途。
人之所以能够背离上帝,是因为上帝给了人自由意志;上帝给人自由意志,是因为一个只由机械的人构成的世界永远不会去爱,因而也永远不知道无限的幸福。
Overview
Considered a classic of Christian
apologetics, the book adapted from a series of BBC radio talks made
between 1942 and 1944, while C.S. Lewis was at Oxford during World War
II. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many
denominations, it provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and
nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian
faith.
