Lewis

A cultured person, however, is almost compelled to be aware that reality if very odd and that the ultimate truth, whatever it may be, must have the characteristics of strangeness—must be something that would seem remote and fantastic to the uncultured… On these grounds I conclude that culture has a distinct role in bringing certain souls to Christ. Not all souls—there is a shorter, and safer, way which has always been followed by thousands of simple affectional natures who begin, where we hope to end, with devotion to the person of Christ.—Business of Heaven, p. 222.
