Length: 17:34

Speaker: C.S. Lewis

In this excerpt from "Mere Christianity," C.S. Lewis discusses the vice of pride, which he considers the greatest sin and the root of all other vices. He explains that pride is inherently competitive, leading people to value themselves over others and even over God. Unlike other vices, pride does not foster camaraderie but instead creates enmity. Lewis warns that pride can disguise itself within religious life, causing people to feel superior to others under the guise of righteousness.

Clive Staples Lewis was a writer and lay theologian who became the most persuasive and influential Christian apologist of the 20th century.

He returned as a man to the Christian faith he had abandoned as a youth, and thereafter authored a variety of fictional novels, essays and Christian apologetics that became some of the most important defenses of the faith in modern times.

Many of the recordings presented in this collection were delivered by Lewis himself as parts of a radio series from Britain. Others are the musings of Lewis narrated by modern speakers.
