C.S. Lewis
“If there is no God then we have no interest in the minimal religion or any other. We will not make a lie even to save civilization. But if there is, then it is so probable as to be almost axiomatic that the initiative lies wholly on His side. If He can be known it will be by self-revelation on His part, not by speculation on ours. We, therefore, look for Him where it is claimed that He has revealed Himself by miracle, by inspired teachers, by enjoined ritual. The traditions conflict, yet the longer and more sympathetically we study them the more we become aware of a common element in many of them: the theme of sacrifice, of mystical communion through the shed blood, of death and rebirth, of redemption, is too clear to escape notice.”
C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock

C.S. Lewis
“For the essence of religion, in my view, is the thirst for an end higher than natural ends; the finite self’s desire for, and acquiescence in, and self-rejection in favour of, an object wholly good and wholly good for it. That the self-rejection will turn out to be also a self-finding, that bread cast upon the waters will be found after many days, that to die is to live—these are sacred paradoxes of which the human race must not be told too soon.”
C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock

C.S. Lewis
“the song of the Maenads: Happy they whom the Daimons Have befriended, who have entered The divine orgies, making holy
Their life-days, till the dance throbs
In their heart-beats, while they romp with Dionysus on the mountains . . .22”
C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock

C.S. Lewis
“There is in this minimal religion nothing that can convince, convert, or (in the higher sense) console; nothing, therefore, which can restore vitality to our civilization. It is not costly enough. It can never be a controller or even a rival to our natural sloth and greed.”
C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock

C.S. Lewis
“The god of whom no dogmas are believed is a mere shadow. He will not produce that fear of the Lord in which wisdom begins, and, therefore, will not produce that love in which it is consummated.”
C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock
