Phase 4

The new source is Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

Following CRAAP process we see that 

Currency: Considering that salvation is not a time based discussion and has been going on for centuries the time and place of this article does not affect the information presented. It was never revised or revisited and it was published in 1952.

Relevance: Mere Christianity presents the basics of Christianity and what the core beliefs are. It goes into covering what the law (Torah) say and how it relates to Christianity and salvation. The intended audience is the common folk, however some of the language is tough to understand. This means that the information in the text is simple but not elementary. 

Authority: C.S. Lewis is known as a lay theologian and Christian apologist. He has written many other books that are highly regarded by Christians like The Chronicles of Narnia and The Screwtape Letters. The author is qualified to write on this topic because he had written on topics like these for years. 

Accuracy: C.S. Lewis has taken most of his information out of the bible and his study of the bible. This causes accuracy in his written works. 

Purpose: His purpose for writing Mere Christianity was to inform and convince people of the truth's to Christianity. 

So due to the CRAAP test we can see that C.S. Lewis is a reliable source for this topic. Discussing the basics of Christianity will help in focusing on the purpose of the topic. It will also benefit the research because it may provide a standard definition to what Christianity is and keep the reader, researcher, and research on the same page as far as terms are concerned.  Therefore Mere Christianity is a good source of information to use.
