Lewis: I'm no Billy Graham

BillyGraham Finally, I must add that my own work has suffered very much from the incurable intellectualism of my approach. The simple, emotional appeal (‘Come to Jesus’) is still often successful. But those who, like myself, lack the gift for making it, had better not attempt it.

C.S. Lewis, "God in the Dock," God in the Dock (Eerdmans: 1970) 244.

  1. Lewis didn't say it exactly that way -- I'm no Billy Graham. But the quote did make me wonder who Lewis may have had in mind. Any ideas?
