Intellectual Arrogance and Anti-Intellectualism

A nice quote from St. Nikolai Velimirovic's Prologue of Ohrid ("Reflection" for 25 December) published in the latest issue of Orthodox Tradition (2013, vol. 2, p.59).
“The Lord Jesus, born in Bethlehem, was first worshipped by shepherds and wise men (astrologers) from the East — the simplest and the wisest of this world. Even today, those who most sincerely worship the Lord Jesus as God and Saviour are the simplest and the wisest of this world. Perverse simplicity and half-learned wisdom were always the enemies of Christ’s Divinity and His Gospel” [emphasis added].
