The Theologian's Danger

C. S. Lewis has a way of blowing all cover - to reveal the truth. I had to think a while when I read his Jan. 18 thought.

The Theologian's Danger

There have been men ... who got so interested in proving the existence of God that they came to care nothing for God Himself ... as if the good Lord had nothing to do
but exist! There have been some who were so occupied in spreading Christianity that they never gave a thought to Christ. Man! Ye see it in smaller matters. Did ye never
know a lover of books that with all his first editions and signed copies had lost the power to read them? Or an organizer of charities that had lost all love for the poor? It is the subtlest of all snares.
