"If the devil were wise enough and would stand by in silence and let the gospel be preached, he would suffer less harm. For when there is no battle for the gospel it rusts and it finds no cause and no occasion to show its vigor and power. Therefore, nothing better can befall the gospel than that the world should fight it with force and cunning."
- Martin Luther

"If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself."

- St. Augustine of Hippo

"I’ve heard plenty of Christians try to answer the why question by going back to the what. ‘You have to believe because Jesus is the Son of God.’ But that’s answering the why with more what. Increasingly we live in a time in which you can’t avoid the why question. Just giving the what (for example, a vivid gospel presentation) worked in the days when the cultural institutions created an environment in which Christianity just felt true or at least honorable. But in a post-Christendom society, in the marketplace of ideas, you have to explain why this is true, or people will just dismiss it."

– Tim Keller

Dr. Moreland makes it plain that this talk is for Christians. Contending that the Church is now in one of the most anti-intellectual periods in history, Moreland draws a stark picture of how Christians' neglect of intellectual pursuits has hurt missions, Christian discipleship, and the very cause of the gospel. Moreland traces the historical path that has brought about this current problem, discusses its implications for today, and provides biblical injunctions and practical solutions for a way out of this serious problem for the Church.

"The gospel is so simple that simple children can understand it, and it is so profound that studies by the wisest theologians will never exhaust its riches."
