Written by the excellent biographer Joseph Pearce, the book explores the great question, why Lewis never joined the Catholic Church. It delves into Lewis\u2019 Ulster Protestant background, compares \u2018Mere\u2019 and \u2018More\u2019 Christianity and ends up looking at the state of Anglicanism today with the sobering soubriquet, \u2018Mire Christianity.\u2019<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u2019s a great book! Have a look!<\/div>\n

As a post script, Joseph Pearce and his wife have today arrived at their new home in Greenville, South Carolina. I never guessed when I first met Joseph and started writing for his literary journal StAR (St Austin Review) that we would one day be neighbors, or that I would one day be his parish priest\u2026and never in my wildest imagination did I dream that this would be on the doorstep of Bob Jones University.<\/div>\n
