If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.- C. S. Lewis

I waited to find the quote until the end of the class, (partially because I am always behind) mainly because I wanted the quote to represent what the class meant as a whole. When I came upon this quote, I realized the value of learning the history of the ancient world and Christianity in detail is that it is a tool that God can use for us to impact the world we presently live in. Now understanding the value of history better I can incorporate it as I seek to achieve my eyes being fixed on the next world of heaven, doing all things in light of eternity. History, from an eternal prospective is fascinating!
