London: Harper Collins Publishers, 1977 (78-99).
S Lewis gives advice and argues his point of view throughout the pages of "Mere Christianity". In chapter five, Lewis argues for the virtue of chastity, that it is created for a reason within Christianity. He frequently compares chastity with eating throughout this chapter, finding similarities and differences. Chapter six carries on a bit from chapter five with Christian marriage, stating what the ideal marriage is and why God crested it like that for us to enjoy. He argues this fact even while frequently admitting that he may not be qualified to give such advice, being single himself. Chapter seven touches on the subject of forgiveness, focusing on the importance of it and chapter eight deals with the subject of The Great Sin, being from Lewis's perspective, pride.
Given this novel is quite dated, being originally published in 1952, it seems to maintain excellent relevance for today's day and age. Perhaps reflecting the timeless relevance of the bible itself. Lewis is a fantastic writer, frequently becoming open and honest with the reader, giving private details into his own life. The comparisons Lewis creates within these chapters to enhance his argument are vivid and bring the complex subjects closer to understanding. The chapters were quite short, yet all the more powerful, holding the reader's attention successfully. .
