Food for thought: Two quotes from Charles Williams


“Sir Bernard occasionally alluded to himself as a neo-Christian, ‘meaning,’ he said, ‘like most neos, one who takes the advantages without the disadvantages. As neo-Platonist, neo-Thomist, and neolithic too, for all I know.’”
Shadows of Ecstasy

“God only gives, and He has only Himself to give, and He, even He, can only give it in those conditions which are Himself.”
War in Heaven

What, then, is a real (not a "neo-") Christian? What kind of people must we be if we belong to this God?
