Reprinted with some alterations from two series:Right and Wrong: A Clue to the Meaning of the Universe and What Christians Believe.
London, Geoffrey Bles: The Centenary Press; 1942
The scarce first edition, first impression of these two talks by C.S. Lewis on the subject of his Christian faith, which were originally broadcast on BBC radio in 1941 and 1942.
'The first series deals with Right and Wrong, because the author thinks that a religion which demands repentance and promises forgiveness can have no meaning except for people who have seen that there is a real Right and that we have not done it. The second series attempts to state the essentials of belief which have been shared by all churches at all periods' (blurb).
First edition, first impression; small 8vo (19 x 13 cm); ownership inscription in pen to front pastedown, library stamp to title; publisher's oatmeal cloth, lettered in red to upper panel, typographic dustjacket, slightly frayed with minor loss to jacket spine ends, some offsetting to first and last ff of text, otherwise very good.
