Christianity provides a unified answer for the whole of life. ”

The inward area is the first place of loss of true Christian life, of true spirituality, and the outward sinful act is the result. ”

In passing, we should note this curious mark of our own age: the only absolute allowed is the absolute insistence that there is no absolute. ”

Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched. ”
