Few Christian thinkers have impacted the modern Church like C.S. Lewis. But as we revisit Mere Christianity and his other works, we have to ask—do his insights still resonate in today’s world? Is Lewis still relevant in an era of deconstruction, digital discipleship, and shifting church attendance?
Lewis was never trying to be trendy—he was aiming for truth. His reflections on humility, temptation, community, and Christ’s lordship cut through fluff with clarity and conviction. Yet modern believers sometimes find his language dated or his analogies bound to a different time. Can his “old-fashioned” wisdom still shape a new generation of disciples?
Here is one of Lewis’ timeless reminders on how to walk faithfully with Christ. “Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.” That kind of insight has shaped Christian conscience for decades. But are we still listening?
Which of Lewis’ ideas have impacted your faith the most? Do you think his writing still connects with today’s culture—or does it need to be reinterpreted for modern minds?
