Original English version:
Taken from the back cover of my copy of 'Mere Christianity' by C.S Lewis:
".... Mere Christianity....a radical faith whose adherents might be likened to an underground group gathering in a war zone, a place where evil seems to have the upper hand, to hear messages of hope from the other side." - Kathleen Norris
From Book 2, Chapter 2 - The Invasion, Page 45
"Christianity agrees ... that this universe is at war. But it does not think this is a war between independent powers. It thinks it is a civil war, a rebellion, and that we are living in a part of the universe occupied by the rebel.
Enemy-occupied territory - that is what this world is, Christianiy is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage. When you go to church, you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from our friends...."
华语翻译：
C.S Lewis, ‘基督教的根基’ 书后版第一段叙：
“。。。基督教的根基。。。一个极端信仰：他的使徒就像一个在打仗期间的地下组织，在一个邪恶以经占上风的局面，聆听另一方希望的信息。”
第二书，二章 - 侵略，45篇 :
“基督教认同。。。这宇宙是在打仗。但它不是两独立、权力均衡的实力的拔河。是内仗、反叛，而我们就居住在反贼统治的地区。
这世界-就是敌人统治的地区，基督教是叙述真正帝王的降临，你能说是侨装降临，传呼我们参与他的行动。教会福音，其实是听从益友机密无线的音信。。。"
