From Lewis’ introduction to Athanasius’ De Incarnatione Verbi Dei:
‘For my own part I tend to find the doctrinal books often more helpful in devotion than the devotional books, and I rather suspect that the same experience may await many others. I believe that many who find that ‘nothing happens’ when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand’.
How true!

Yes, certainly true. I once made the comment to a friend that if we read more theology we wouldn’t need a huge market for the fluffy “Christian living” style books that dominant the Christian bookshops. Though, this may be a little narrow minded on my part.
