In Mere Christianity‚ Dr. Lewis provided readers with an exposition of his views on a variety of aspects of Christianity. This book came together for the purpose of explaining Christianity to an embattled country during the war. It is my opinion that Dr. Lewis was successful in achieving his purpose.

I am not religious‚ but I will compare the similarities with Christianity since I grow up in a Christian household. Gita’s classical wisdom is as applicable now as it was in the days it was written. Krishna appears to be Christ; he created and sustained everything in his glory.

In society today‚ at least in common Christianity‚ it is accepted that God is not one person‚ but three. There is God the Father‚ God the Son‚ and God the Holy Spirit. I believe that the play Everyman is depicted through God the Son‚ which is Jesus Christ. I would dress my God as that of Jesus Christ. He will be wearing the crown of thorns upon his head‚ with the blood coming down from the cuts‚ which actually can’t be seen in the photo above. This will be representing the anguish and suffering

However‚ they attend church and even call themselves believers‚ but in reality they are as far from God as any unbeliever. To be a good reflection of Christ and see answers to our prayers‚ as followers of Jesus we must stay
