Archimandrite Sophrony
"It can be said with some foundation that almost nowhere is genuine Christianity preached. Christianity so far surpasses the ordinary understanding that the praying heart does not venture to preach the Gospel word. People seek Truth. They love Christ. But, in our day especially, they try to reduce Him to dimensions of their own making, which debases the Gospels to the level of moralistic doctrine. Yet Christ declared, 'Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away' (Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33).
To attain to knowledge of Truth demands far more effort than it takes to acquire practical and scientific learning. Neither the reading of a vast number of books, nor familiarity with the history of Christianity, nor the study of different theological systems can bring us to our goal, unless we continuously and to our utmost cling to the commandments of Christ." - from "His Life is Mine"
