In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48332]]></link><description><![CDATA[I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best that I could bring to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Help me to resist temptation, Lord, especially when I know no one is looking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Help me to resist temptation, Lord, especially when I know no one is looking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We realized that as a system we could handle those cases ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦ in a family-centered way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33224]]></link><description><![CDATA[We realized that as a system we could handle those cases ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦ in a family-centered way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59]]></link><description><![CDATA[From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love.
