I read some words by Henry Corbin a few minutes ago concerning the spiritual universe of Avicenna that appear to me to directly relate to the state of Christianity today. Here they are (I insert "Christianity" instead of "Avicennan" and "Jesus" instead of "Avicenna"):
The future of Christianity "can be decided in a positive sense only on one condition--that the traditional philosophy, nourished on Christian motifs, shall not drowse on in the murmur of the old formulas but shall be capable of again daring, on its own account and in our present-day world, the spiritual adventure that Jesus himself dared."
