I stumbled upon these words by Hans Rookmaaker today. They are in Modern Art And The Death Of A Culture volume 5 of his complete works (please stop clapping, I actually started at volume 5 so it just happens to sound more impressive than it actually is).
"I am very aware that the issues at stake are not just cultural and intellectual but also spiritual. What is involved is a whole way of thinking that leave out of account, and so largely negates, vital aspects of our humanity and our understanding of reality. Christians today must understand the spirit of the age. They must realize that the protesters and revolutionaries are often fighting against the same evils of society as they are themselves. But they must also see the inadequacy of all answers that do not tackle the root of the problem."
But it would be unfair to ignore the fact that this hardly even takes the edge off when the apparent "dissenters" do not cease to be so terribly insipid.
