THE STUDY OF GOD
Several years ago, Encyclopedia Britannica published a fifty-five volume series entitled The Great Books of the Western World. Mortimer Adler, a noted philosopher and legal scholar, was co-editor of this series, which marshalls the eminent thinkers of the western world and their writings on the most important ideas that have been studied and investigated over the centuries. This includes ideas in law, science, philosophy, history, theology, and love that have shaped the minds and destinies of people. These are assembled for comparison and contrast. Very striking to the observant reader is that the longest essay is on God. When Mr. Adler was asked by a reviewer why this theme merited such protracted coverage, his answer was uncompromising. “It is because,” said he,” more consequences for life follow from that one issue than from any other.” From A Shattered Visage, by Ravi Zacharias
