Mind bending but simplistic. So much practical truth to chew on! I'll review in more detail when I review Mere Christianity. I'd rate this book a PG. Mind bending but simplistic. So much practical truth to chew on! I'll review in more detail when I review Mere Christianity. I'd rate this book a PG.

The title of “Christian Behavior” makes this book sound like a compilation of rules and checklists. In fact, it is the opposite. Lewis argues that recognizing our own bankruptcy and dependency on Christ is when we begin to become the sort of creatures (not checklists) God intended us to be. In true Lewis fashion, the author argues that we must do things which we don’t feel like doing to follow Christ; thus, this isn’t a book of feel-good mantras or permission to do nothing.

In true Lewis fashion, the author argues that we must do things which we don’t feel like doing to follow Christ; thus, this isn’t a book of feel-good mantras or permission to do nothing. Christianity is a paradox of discipline and rest which seems counterintuitive; something I have often tried to explain to others and myself. Once again, Lewis does a phenomenal job of putting into words a concept which often escapes my capability of doing so. This is a great, quick (70 pages) read which has left me assured of the Gospel and motivated me towards obedience.

My third CS Lewis book in as many months. Lucky for me another short volume as the philosophical, moral and ethical based content makes for ponderous reading and review. I give this three stars. Published in 1943, the social norms and examples of the time make it dated. But mostly because it was over ambitious in attempting to cover too much territory. As a result, it was not as profound and as complete of a treatment as the one subject of love in Four Loves and the narrow scope treated in Beyon My third CS Lewis book in as many months.

Nevertheless, still many profound and pithy comments worth quoting even today.

Having come back to these essays for the second time has been an amazing experience. In a very short book, Lewis is able to summarize the Christian life and to explore both the difficulties and the rewards it brings.
Jimmy Nyakora –
With precise and clear articulation of ideas, Lewis, presents a much needed treatise in this conflicting age or relative truth and relative morality. He stirs the Christian witness from weakness into courageous living of the Christian calling.
Tim Jack –
Immensely practical and concise. Reading this after finishing Aristotle’s Ethics was very helpful; part of Lewis’s success is communicating Aristotelian virtue ethics to a contemporary audience.

Sommige stukken zijn gedateerd. ~Het zijn losse essays, die bij elkaar zijn gevoegd. Er had iets meer aandacht besteed kunnen worden aan de structuur en samenhang. ~ Hij is niet altijd even duidelijk over zijn bronnen. Hij filosofeert ook veel zelf bij elkaar. Kritisch blijven lezen dus. ~ En als laatste: de titel is wel een beetje suf :). Eindoordeel: Interessant en hij had een fijne schrijfstijl. Ik ga meer non-fictie van hem lezen. 4 sterren.

My second-favorite of the works from the essay collection that makes up Mere Christianity.

"One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting every one else to give it up." In the process of writing something distinctly apologetic, Lewis is decidedly unapologetic in his explanations of the key Christian doctrines and directives regarding social morality. He acknowledges the strident lack of popularity certain teachings have amid the culture of his time without bending to such fickle pressures, and he is quick to denounce the petty points of discord found among so many of the Christian denominations. In short, the man was far more interested in what God thought of him than he was in acquiring the approval of men. "...We grow up surrounded by propaganda in favor of unchastity. There are people who want to keep our sex instinct inflamed in order to make money out of us. Because, of course, a man with an obsession is a man who has very little sales-resistance." I actually found it brave of him to address the concept of Christian marriage in one of his essays, as he is up-front with the fact that--at the time that he wrote it--he'd yet to experience marriage for himself. (He would of course marry late in life to a cancer-inflicted woman to whom he was deeply devoted--having precious few years to put his convictions into practice.) "And, of course, the promise, made when I am in love and because I am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as I live, commits me to being true even if I cease to be in love. A promise must be about things I can do, about actions: no one can promise to go on feeling a certain way. He might as well promise never to have a headache or always to feel hungry."

I thought this little book was actually quite good, very informative, and excellent advice. His take on what it means to be a Christian is quite different from the usual behaviour we see modeled by those who most loudly profess to be paragons of virtue. I don't profess to be a Christian myself, but I would consider this book to be one of many valuable references for how to best to live the life of a bodhisattva.

Lewis's reflections on morality are timeless, but his reflections on theology are very poor and should be read with caution and discernment. He himself admitted that he was not a theologian, and so readers of Lewis should read with their eyes opened to that fact.

I bought an original second printing of this book from 1944. Classic C.S. Lewis thoughts on Christian living. A small book of 70 pages that I believe was originally given in weekly addresses.
