Such anti-intellectualism cuts away at the very heart of the Christian message. Of course, there is a false intellectualism which does destroy the work of the Holy Spirit. But it does not arise when men wrestle honestly with honest questions and then see that the Bible has the answers. This does not oppose true spirituality.

    'Religion without Revelation' (1957 ed.) ch. 3

  • Most of us are conditioned for many years to have a political viewpoint - Republican or Democratic, liberal, conservative, or moderate.

I'd known that intellectually before but that was the first time I really believed it viscerally.
