Selections from "Understanding the Times" which I am rereading

Enjoy!


"Faith is critical in every philosophy. The individual developing a philosophy must be extremely careful to base his case on the most turthful assumptions..." God's Word.

"The Supernatural is not remote and abstruse: it is a matter of daily and hourly experiance, as intimate as breathing." -- C.S. Lewis

"In science we have been reading only the notes to a poem; in Christianity we find the poem itself." -- C.S. Lewis

"It can be said that the Christian philosopher and theologian must be acquainted with the contending world-views of his age. Philosophy after all is a way of life, and the Christian believes that he has the true way--the true pattern for living. It is the task of the Christian leader to understand the ideologies of his day so that he may be able to meet their challenge. The task is a never-ending one, for, although the Christian's worldview does not change, the world about him does. Thus the task of showing the relevance of the Christian realistic philosophy to a world in process is one which requires eternal vigilance. To such a task, to such an ideal, the Christian leader must dedicate himself." -- Dr. Warren C. Young
