Over 100 years ago, G.K. Chesterton diagnosed the fatal flaw of the modern mind:

"The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason." — Orthodoxy

Logic untethered from imagination, wonder, and revelation inevitably collapses into madness. The rationalist can "prove" his way into almost anything, no matter how absurd.

A narrow circle of logic, no matter how complete it appears, remains closed. Reason only flourishes within a larger vision, one that is able to embrace paradox and mystery.

Chesterton's simple but unfashionable idea is that Christian belief does not crush reason or the imagination, but keeps them alive and connected.

You were given a mind that is capable of both reason and imaginative creativity — and both are essential to keep it working.
