A now-classic book with insights as fresh and relevant today as they were in the 1960s....

Harry Blamires, a noted British Christian thinker who started writing through the encouragement of C. S. Lewis, his tutor at Oxford, makes a perceptive diagnosis of some of the weaknesses besetting the church today. He argues that the distinctively Christian intellect is being swept away by secular modes of thought and secular assumptions about reality. Blamires calls for the recovery of the Christian mind and challenges “not only secularism’s assault upon personal morality and the life of the soul, but also secularism’s truncated and perverted view of the meaning of life and the purpose of the social order.”

Harry Blamires is an Anglican theologian, literary critic, and novelist. Now retired, he served as head of the English department at King Alfred’s College in Winchester, England. Blamires started writing at the encouragement of C. S. Lewis, his friend and tutor. The Christian Mind, his bestknown work, has been used as a textbook at hundreds of bible colleges and seminaries around the world. He is also the author of The New Bloomsday Book: A Guide through Ulysses and A Short History of English Literature, among many other works.

Critic reviews

Praise for The PostChristian Mind: “Blamires was a student of C. S. Lewis, and like his mentor, his highly readable arguments are spiced with memorable anecdotes and built on a firm foundation of common sense…Blamires gracefully delivers his thesis with wit and logic.” ( Publishers Weekly)

This was thought provoking and timely even after so many years later. I recommend this book.

Great Read

This book addresses a vital problem, more pressing, more desperate now than 60 years ago: Christianity must lose ground to the world, the flesh and the devil so long as it abrogates intellectual clarity, honesty and courage. And fidelity. The examples and illustrations the author uses must appear vintage to 21st century readers (charmingly so to me, who am the book’s coeval), but this does not affect the cogency of his arguments.
The reading is fresh, and is paced for maximum absorption: a marvelous performance.

This is one of those books I will purchase and read. Sadly, I agree the body of Christ still lacks a Christian mind among many of our adherents.

A Christian Mind

Unlike the many usual monotonous narrations, the narrator is wonderfully lively, with the right pauses and emphases/accentuations. This is what proper professional narration should be!
And the book, it is a clear indictment of the secularization of the Christian mind. True in the day of writing and even truer today.

Great narration!

This author was spot on with so many things. It’s strange how we just go with flow and never question it!

The narrator did an excellent job!

Listen to this! Eye opening!

Blamires's view of the dangerous rise of secularism and his predictions of it's impact on the church have sadly turned out to be very accurate. This call to 'think Christianly' remains so important but it is increasingly difficult in this post modern culture.
