Amazing Conceits

From Hearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationshiop with God by Dallas Willard (p. 106-107):

One of the most amazing conceits that creeps in from time to time into the Western branches of the church is the following attitude: “We are so much better now than in more primitive times that it is enough that we have a written Word of God without the kind of divine presence and interaction with humanity described in that written Word.” How obviously mistaken this is now at the turn of the millennium, as biblical truth and ideas serve less and less to guide the course of human events and as service to the old gods and goddesses of the pre-Christian world is explicitly reasserting itself in the highest levels of culture.
