Christianity

Christianity is avowedly the most materialistic of all religions... If we allow the spiritual and the physical to become separated, the unity of man’s life is broken; the material world, with all man’s economic activity becomes a happy hunting ground for uncurbed acquisitiveness and religion becomes a refined occupation for the leisure of the mystical. It is in the sacramental view of the universe, both of its material and of its spiritual elements, that there is given hope of making human both politics and economics and of making effectual both faith and love.
William Temple: Nature, Man and God.
Quoted by J. H. Oldham in Life is Commitment

Christianity is not primarily demand but fulfilment.
J. H. Oldam: Life is Commitment

Christianity

The truth of Christianity cannot be proved to the man in the street till he come off the street by owning its power.
P. T. Forsyth: Cruciality of the Cross.

Christianity

Christianity is eternity in the midst of time.
Adolf Von Harnack
