About This Quote

What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects--with their Christianity latent. This quotation from the English novelist Graham Greene underscores a sense of arrogance that can be found in those who consider themselves as “world-class” Christians. In other words, people who think they have already mastered “the truth.” In reality, though, this is not how Jesus taught us to live. Jesus told us to approach God with our whole selves. He said, “If you come to me, you are not for me; if I go to you, I am not for you.” It’s because of Jesus’s teaching that we are able to relate with others and share our books about Christ with them.
