Medieval Abstraction and Chivalric Wonder
An interesting observation grabbed me while reading through a wonderful analysis of the medieval scholarship of C. S. Lewis by Jason Baxter. Lewis, writing through the enlightened lens of medieval thought about our modern intellectual myopia, spoke of the “evil enchantment” of modernity.
This is the insistent denial of higher realities (like heaven), that results in the tearing of the spirit (the

“The truly noble heart sacrifices itself for others’ good, to defend the weak and the good against evil. To a heart like this, a heart devoted to chivalry, courage is a matter of form.”

“When we are in Christ His goals are now our goals, and we are to be busy with his work on earth.”
― King: A Christian's Call to Imitate Christ's Kingship
― King: A Christian's Call to Imitate Christ's Kingship
“Sometimes God speaks to a man in a whisper… But sometimes His Spirit explodes in a man suddenly, lighting up in shocking crimson brilliance the cowardly and sullied things he’s let his drowsy soul become mired in, and bringing unlooked for tears at the glimpse of the man he ought to have been all along. With that despairing realization the astounding truth blossoms like a bursting field of wildflowers or a brilliant new dawn shooting from the peak of a dark hill, that because of Christ’s work for him, he can change.”

“Feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving;
My warrant is the Word of God--
Naught else is worth believing.
Though all my heart should feel condemned
For want of some sweet token,
There is One greater than my heart
Whose Word cannot be broken.
I'll trust in God's unchanging Word
Till soul and body sever,
For, though all things shall pass away,
HIS WORD SHALL STAND FOREVER!”
