Everyone has warned me not to tell you what I'm going to tell you in this last book. They say ‘the ordinary reader does not want theology; give him plain practical religion’. I have rejected their advice. I do not think the ordinary reader is such a fool. Theology means ‘the science of God,’ and I think any man who wants to think about God at all would like to have the clearest and most accurate ideas about him which are available. You are not children: why should you be treated like children?
- C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, Book VI, Chapter 1
