Looking at the source
Christianity seems at first to be all about morality,
all about duties and rules and guilt and virtue, yet
it leads you on, out of all that, into something beyond.
One has a glimpse of a country where they do not talk
of those things, except perhaps as a joke. Every one
there is filled full with what we should call goodness
as a mirror is filled with light. But they do not call
it goodness. They do not call it anything. They are not
thinking of it. They are too busy looking at the source
from which it comes.
- C. S. Lewis, "Into the Wardrobe"
