“Literature argues too – it persuades, it changes the reader – but concretely. Philosophy says truth, but literature shows truth. God must have known that literature is a more effective teacher than philosophy, for when He chose to teach mankind its most important theological and moral lessons, He did so not primarily through abstract eternal truths, but through historical events, through acts.”

- Peter Kreeft -
