“The world does not need more Christian literature. What it needs is more Christians writing good literature.”

“Christian literature comes from Christian novelists and dramatists - not from the bench of bishops getting together and trying to write plays and novels in their spare time.”

“What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects--with their Christianity latent.”

“One of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is that Christianity is an education itself.”

“If all the world were Christian, it might not matter if all the world were educated. But a cultural life will exist outside the Church whether it exists inside or not. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.”

“The world does not consist of 100 percent Christians and 100 percent non-Christians. There are people (a great many of them) who are slowly ceasing to be Christians but who still call themselves by that name: some of them are clergymen. There are other people who are slowly becoming Christians though they do not yet call themselves so. ”

“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.”
