Beyond Mere Christianity

Beyond Mere Christianity by Brandon Toropov is an English comparative religion book published by Darussalam Publishers that engages critically with the influential 1952 Christian apologetics work Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. Rather than presenting a general history or theology of Islam, this book examines the claims and assumptions in standard Christian theology, responds to Lewis’s framework, and argues, based on responsible Gospel scholarship, that the authentic teachings of Jesus (as preserved in early sources) point beyond “mere” conventional Christianity toward direct worship of the Creator without elevating creations or intermediaries. The author suggests that true salvation lies in reliance on the Creator alone, critiquing theological positions that depart from this principle, and encourages thoughtful readers to reassess what constitutes genuine monotheism and salvation in light of early Christian texts and their implications.
