Now, I do not want here to discuss whether the miraculous is possible: I only want to point out that this is a purely philosophical question. Scholars, as scholars, speak on it with no more authority than anyone else. The canon, "If miraculous, unhistorical", is one they bring to their study of the texts, not one they have learned from it. If one is speaking of authority, the united authority of all the Biblical critics in the world counts for nothing. On this they speak simply as men -- men obviously influenced by, and perhaps insufficiently critical of, the spirit of the age they grew up in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I enjoy convalescence.

Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not without art, but yet to Nature true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not without art, but yet to Nature true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The justice doesn't have any comment about it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39610]]></link><description><![CDATA[The justice doesn't have any comment about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy makes us giddy, dizzy. [Ger., Die Freude macht drehend, wirblicht.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy makes us giddy, dizzy. [Ger., Die Freude macht drehend, wirblicht.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was going to be somebody's day, and I knew that one of us was going to have that day. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40270]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was going to be somebody's day, and I knew that one of us was going to have that day.
