Years ago a group of British thinkers on comparative religion furiously debated whether one belief set Christianity apart from other world religions. C. S. Lewis wandered in late, took a seat and asked, “What’s the rumpus about?” They told him they were trying to determine Christianity’s unique contribution among world religions. Without hesitation he replied, “Oh, that’s easy. It’s grace.”
I read of the above somewhere and jotted it down; I cannot recall where. Known as the greatest defender of the Christian faith in the last century, C. S. Lewis wrote many books including The Chronicles of Narnia that have been made into movies and TV series. I love his books, particularly The Screwtape Letters. It takes the form of letters from a senior devil to a junior devil. It’s fun to read.
To Lewis, there’s no question what is it about Christianity that sets it apart from the rest. It’s Grace- God’s favour to undeserving mankind.
