Peake and Grice On the City of Eternal Truth

From Arhur S. Peake, "Christianity: Its Nature and Its Truth"

On p. 140 -- an old book.

"There can, indeed, be no doubt that from some points of view the prospect thus held out to us is an alluring one. To soar away from the dreary earth into the rare atmosphere of beautiful ideas, to reach that peaceful region where we are no longer in the rough and tumble of historical controversy, to have gone where critics cease from troubling, that would be a delightful experience. How exhilarating to be born upward on the bold unfettered wing of pure speculation till we have scaled the cloudy ramparts and found ourselves at home in the city of eternal truth!" (p. 140).
