I was reading a review of Lewis' Mere Christianity that NT Wright has written for Touchstone. This is the 60th anniversary of its publication. I ran across these words of Wright's. Well said.
I think it’s important that we are justified by faith: not by believing in justification by faith, but by believing in Jesus Christ. Obviously a clear understanding of justification would help a great deal, but I don’t myself regard that as the first thing to explain to a potential convert. Sufficient to draw them to Jesus.
The rest of the review is quite good. Wright offers some good criticisms and reaffirmations of Lewis in this classic work of the Oxford don.
