Book 4, Chapter 8 Is Christianity Hard or Easy?
In the last few chapters, Lewis has presented the Christian idea of dressing up as a Son of God as the means of becoming a son of God. In this chapter, he contrasts this with ordinary ideas of "morality" and "being good." Against this background, he then addresses the contrasting views of the Christian life as being hard and easy.
C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity is a classic in Christian apologetics. It was originally broadcast over the radio and is best understood by hearing it.
