Seventy years ago, C.S. Lewis, in the preface of his landmark book Mere Christianity, advanced the factual reality of agreement on essential doctrinal truths (such as the Trinity, incarnation, atonement, and the physical Resurrection of Jesus), which all theologically conservative denominations within Protestantism affirm. Lewis’s biographer, Alister McGrath, elucidates the “mere-Christian” core of Christian belief: “Mere Christianity is Lewis’s code word for a consensual form of Christianity that would carry wide acceptance across Christian denominations and wouldn’t contradict their core doctrines.”

“Ever since I became a Christian, I have thought that the best, perhaps the only, service I could do for my unbelieving neighbours was to explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times.” —C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

As a ministry of Prestonwood Baptist Church, Prestonwood Christian Academy enthusiastically ascribes to the Baptist Faith & Message 2000 and Kingdom Education. Except for a possible debate-style event, PCA invites guest lecturers who affirm the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith, or “mere Christianity,” to inspire a fully orbed Christian worldview among our community. Lewis rightly stated,

“When all is said (and truly said) about the divisions of Christendom, there remains, by God’s mercy, an enormous common ground.” —C.S. Lewis, Christian Reflections

Standing on the historic Christian faith as codified in Scripture and expressed in the early creeds, the atoning death of Christ and His Resurrection from the dead are central truths of the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:3–5).

Finally, we also recognize there is room for charity, engagement, questions and even disagreement on secondary doctrines in the marketplace of Christian ideas.
