The value of the Old Testament may be dependant on what seems its imperfection. It may repel one use in order that we may be forced to use it in another way-to find the Word in it...to re-live, while we read, the whole Jewish experience of God's gradual and graded self-revelation, to feel the very contentions between the Word and the human material through which it works.
C. S. LewisIf you don't listen to theology, that won't mean you have no ideas about God, it will mean you have a lot of wrong ones.
C. S. LewisWe forgive, we mortify our resentment; a week later some chain of thought carries us back to the original offence and we discover the old resentment blazing away as if nothing had been done about it at all. We need to forgive our brother seventy times seven not only for 490 offences but for one offence.
C. S. LewisThe very man who has argued you down, will sometimes be found, years later, to have been influenced by what you said
