Lewis defends the most unpopular part of Christian morality-chastity. He also briefly explains the four cardinal virtues-prudence, temperance, justice, and fortitude-and why they’re necessary for living morally. All virtues uphold these three parts all sins contradict at least one part. Morality is made up of three parts: between people, within a person, and salvation. In the third section, Lewis discusses morality. There are many different sects that worship Christ, but they can all agree on basic facts about his existence and salvation.

He is the cornerstone of Christianity and a key to virtue. Lewis introduces Jesus Christ at the end of part two. Thus, Lewis argues that people have free will and can choose between good and evil they will be rewarded with Heaven if their choices lead them there. However, the only way for atheists to criticize the Christian model of God is if they are using the same standard that led us to accept the existence of God in Part One. When Lewis was younger, he found it hard to believe in a just God who would allow Earth to become an unjust place. Looking around us today we can see how perverted goodness has become almost everywhere in our world However, Christianity believes that evil is spoiled goodness-it’s not equal to good but rather a corruption of it. Christians also believe in an ultimate evil called the Devil.

Other religious groups have different views on this issue for example, Muslims feel that God created the universe and wants humans to work hard to make it better. Some groups, such as Pantheists, believe that God is neither good nor evil instead, they believe that He represents everything in the universe. The second part of the book discusses a few competing theories about God’s identity. He claims that moral laws are not just an arbitrary human invention they’re actually real and come from an all-powerful being who stands outside the confines of material space and time, revealing itself to humans through those moral laws. Lewis argues for the logical validity of Christianity and defends it against its critics by looking at what a Christian life is like. 1-Page Summary of Mere Christianity Overall Summary
