C.S. Lewis once noted that if we had to choose between
reading old books and new books, it should be the old
books we choose. "Not because they are better," he
wrote, "but because they contain precisely those truths
of which our own age is neglectful." Lewis was well aware
that there were truths spoken through other worldviews
that he was blinded from simply because he existed in
his own.
Our worldview is no exception. Every thought and
experience, every book and idea that crosses our path,
has been shaped within the cauldron of postmodern
thought, a mindset often ruled by the eyes. And when
orientation to life is based on one's own perspective,
and truth discerned by personal preference, blindness
is a difficult concept to accept.
