Meditations in a Tool Shed

I like how CS Lewis does not discount either perspective in "Meditations in a Tool Shed." The point of view of the man in love is legitimate as well as the explanation of this phenomenon by a psychologist, a man outside of the picture. He emphasizes that we need a balanced perspective- understanding of both areas. Head knowledge without experience is meaningless. I can know all the facts and theology about God, but if I do not have a relationship with God I still don't know God. However, experience is best coupled with knowledge. Doctrines and theology add to one's faith and help to make it firm. Both are necessary for a balanced perspective of God and faith.
