“We deceive ourselves if we imagine that human apathy is the problem, and not, deep down, an enmity which resists the claims of God. Fallen man is not therefore ‘good at heart’, if Jesus is to be believed. ‘Evil deeds’ are the inevitable result of an evil heart, and persist in every human culture and reappear in every new generation, presenting man in society with his most intractable problems.”
