Alister E. McGrath

A god that can be reduced to what reason can cope with is not a God that can be worshiped.

Alister E. McGrath

Beneath all the rhetoric about relevance lies a profoundly disturbing possibility - that people may base their lives upon an illusion, upon a blatant lie. The attractiveness of a belief is all too often inversely proportional to its truth... To allow "relevance" to be given greater weight than truth is a mark of intellectual shallowness and moral irresponsibility.

Alister E. McGrath

Christianity tells a big story. It allows us to see our own story in a new way.

Alister E. McGrath

For Christian writers, religious faith is not a rebellion against reason, but a revolt against the imprisonment of humanity within the cold walls of a rationalist dogmatism.

Alister E. McGrath

Human logic may be rationally adequate, but it is also existentially deficient. Faith declares that there is more than this - not contradicting, but transcending reason.

Alister E. McGrath

Alister E. McGrath

Lewis created a new kind of marriage between theological reflection and poetic imagination.

Alister E. McGrath

Lewis had experienced more trauma than most of his modern readers ever will.

Alister E. McGrath

Lewis is a rare example of someone who liked to think about life's great questions because they were forced on him by his own experience.

Alister E. McGrath

Lewis is like a gateway, making the riches of Deep Church more accessible.
