Referring to religion, the philosopher A C Grayling wrote "the elephant is crashing about in the room, trampling people to death, and politely ignoring it is not an option".
Does Christian belief automatically relegate you to an intellectual slum, to use Dallas Willard's phrase? As Christians are we foraging around in rubbish dumps of knowledge for anything vaguely edifying, but actually being shown up for the intellectually malnourished people that we are, miles away from a rich life of the mind?
