  • . . . the Christian Mind has succumbed to the secular drift with a degree of weakness unmatched in Christian History.

  • There is nothing in our experience, however trivial, worldly, or even evil, which cannot be thought about christianly.

    Evil   Worldly  
  • The mental secularization of Christians means that nowadays we meet only as worshipping beings and as moral beings, not as thinking beings.

  • In the upshot there is only one answer for the preacher who wonders whether he is worthy to preach the sermon he has composed or for the writer who wonders whether he is worthy to write the religious book he is working on. The answer is: Of course not. To ask yourself: Am I worthy to perform this Christian task? is really the peak of pride and presumption. For the very question carries the implication that we spend most of our time doing things we are worthy to do. We simply do not have that kind of worth.

  • The bland assumption that the Church's life will continue to be fruitful so long as we go on praying and cultivating our souls, irrespective of whether we trouble to think and talk Christianly, and therefore theologically, about anything we or others may do or say, may turn out to have dire results.

    Thinking   Long   Soul  
  • If Christians cannot communicate as thinking beings, they are reduced to encountering one another only at the shallow level of gossip and small talk. Hence the perhaps peculiarly modern problem - the loneliness of the thinking Christian.

  • There is no longer a Christian mind.

    Christian   Mind  
    "The Christian Mind: How Should a Christian Think?". Book by Harry Blamires, 1963.
  • There is no longer a Christian mind ... the modern Christian has succumbed to secularization. He accepts religion - its morality, its worship, its spiritual culture; but he rejects the religious view of life, the view which sets all earthly issues within the context of the eternal, the view which relates all human problems social, political, cultural to the doctrinal foundations of the Christian Faith, the view which sees all things here below in terms of God's supremacy and earth's transitoriness, in terms of Heaven and Hell.
