Quote by C.S. Lewis

It is conceivable that ideas derived from Akhenaten's system formed part of that Egyptian 'Wisdom' in which Moses was bred. There is nothing to disquiet us in such a possibility. Whatever was true in Akhenaten's creed came to him, in some mode or other, as all truth comes to all men, from God.

It is conceivable that ideas derived from Akhenaten's system

Summary

This quote suggests that the ideas introduced by Akhenaten, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, may have influenced the wisdom and teachings of Moses. It implies that it is reasonable to consider this possibility without any concern. The quote further asserts that any truth present in Akhenaten's beliefs would have been received by him like all truth is received by humanity, which is from God. Therefore, this explanation highlights the potential connection between Akhenaten's system and the formation of Moses' wisdom and emphasizes the divine origin of all truth.
