Top Highlights
“Our deepest desire is not for the desirable but for the real—if we are honest.” (Page 23)
“Only omnipotence can bear the burden of omniscience; only God’s shoulders are strong enough to carry the burden of infinite knowledge without losing the joy.” (Page 27)
“The glory has departed. We moderns have lost much of medieval Christendom’s faith in Heaven because we have lost its hope of Heaven, and we have lost its hope of Heaven because we have lost its love of Heaven. And we have lost its love of Heaven because we have lost its sense of Heavenly glory.” (Page 19)
“This materialistic view of the world is often mistakenly believed to be a scientific necessity.13 It is true that a brain chemist cannot worry about the soul in his chemistry, nor an astronomer about God in his astronomy. But the mistake is to forget that all science is selective, like photography. It always abstracts a part or aspect from a more complete, complex, concrete whole. It is science that is abstract and philosophy that is concrete, not vice versa.” (Page 89)
“All our humanity is perfected, not diminished, in Heaven” (Page 36)
