Each article in this text is an example of Lewis's ability to explain and defend what he terms mere Christianity. He expounds the reasons why Christianity is a credible faith, looks at Christian belief and behaviour and the final section, entitled Beyond Personality , is an examination of the spiritual transformation which occurs when God invades the human heart and mind.
