S. Lewis originally delivered his <em>Mere Christianity<\/em> essays as a series of radio addresses in the United Kingdom between 1941 and 1944. Broadcast to a population in the midst of World War II, Lewis&#8217;s discussions on evil, forgiveness, and serving a greater good struck a chord with a wide audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can answer these <em>Mere Christianity<\/em> discussion questions individually or with a group to get more out of your reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exercise-1-reflect-on-virtue\">Exercise #1: Reflect on Virtue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lewis argues that virtue will change you. As you make a practice of virtuous acts, you&#8217;ll gradually become more aware of opportunities for virtue, and you&#8217;ll confront all of your vices. This exercise provides a chance to reflect on virtue and opportunities for moral <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/methods-of-decision-making-crucial-conversations\/\">decision-making<\/a> in your daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lewis argues that humility is the <em>most important <\/em>virtue. Only when we are truly humble will we be able to surrender to God&#8217;s moral laws. Do you agree? If so, explain why. If not, write down which of Lewis\u2019s other key Christian virtues (faith, benevolence, moderation) you consider to be the most important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/living-a-fulfilled-life\/\">living a fulfilling life<\/a> and explain why.<\/li><li>Now that you have selected the virtue that is most important to you, brainstorm a list of opportunities to practice this virtue. Think about what your daily life looks like from when you get out of bed in the morning until you go to sleep at night. Consider your daily interactions with family, coworkers, and friends. Where and when could start practicing this virtue?<\/li><li>Lewis asserts that practicing virtue requires surrender\u2014when your will is in conflict with God&#8217;s law, you must submit. Now that you have a list of opportunities to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-practice-virtue\/\">practice virtue<\/a> in your daily life, consider this question: What might you have to give up to practice this virtue every day? (For example, you may need to give up an indulgence, let go of a grudge in order to forgive, or tighten your budget to give more to charity.) Explain the sacrifices you would have to make to practice this virtue every day.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exercise-2-reflect-on-the-nature-of-god\">Exercise #2: Reflect on the Nature of God<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lewis makes several claims about the nature and character of God. In this exercise, you&#8217;ll have a chance to reflect on his arguments and develop your perception of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lewis contrasts three potential understandings of God: (1) Christianity\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/is-god-moral\/\">moral God<\/a> who has granted us free will, (2) dualism\u2019s moral God who is at war with an evil God, and (3) pantheism\u2019s morally neutral God. Do you share Lewis&#8217;s perception that the first one is the most compelling? If so, explain why. If not, pick the model you find more compelling and explain why.<\/li><li>Lewis argues that we can understand that God is moral because God created moral laws\u2014thus making an <em>inference <\/em>about the mind of God by looking to creation. Could we infer other preferences, properties, or qualities of God by looking at creation? Think about the world around you. What sort of creator does it suggest to you and why?<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Would you like to internalize the concepts in the classic book Mere Christianity?
