The Desire for Knowledge and Pursuing Godliness
In this chapter, they discuss the desire for knowledge and how it should be combined with pursuing godliness. They emphasize that the outward appearance of a career can be deceiving and that loving knowledge should not surpass the importance of the thing known. They also mention that artists should not love their talents or the reputation they bring, but simply delight in their abilities. The chapter references Lewis' book 'The Great Divorce' to illustrate the negative outcomes of loving knowledge or art more than the act itself. They also briefly mention 'Screw Tape Letters' and how it highlights the importance of eradicating strong personal tastes even if they are not sinful.
