An Educated Christian

"If you are thinking of becoming a Christian, I warn you, you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all. But, fortunately, it works the other way around. Anyone who is honestly trying to be a Christian will soon find his intelligence being sharpened: one of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is the Christianity is an education itself. That is why an educated believer like Bunyan was able to write a book that has astonished the whole world."

--C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, "The Cardinal Virtues"
