Lowest Common Denominator - Richard Foster Quote

“I am concerned that our reading and our writing is gravitating to the lowest common denominator so completely that the great themes of majesty and nobility and felicity are made to seem trite, puny, pedestrain….In this day and age having nothing at all to say does not disqualify a person from writing a book. The sad truth is that many authors simply have never learned to reflect substantively on anything.”

– Richard Foster in The Hidden Smile of God by John Piper, p. 153
