Education ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on education:   What are the gifts of biblical faith to the secular university? Education can receive from the Bible a faith concerning man far more realistic than the naive faith by which education has tried to live. Not man as "pure reason": his reason is not pure. Not man as incipient angel: he can turn any structure... to good or to demonic purpose. Not man with his steps on the highroad called evolution: he is relatively free and, therefore, can and does wreck any evolution unless some Grace constantly renews his onward journey. Not man who by his science is sure to fashion a "brave new world"; by science he can destroy the world. Not man as centrally and characteristically a reasonable creature who needs only that his mind shall be educated to build a reasonable world. Not man regarded in any naive faith, but man as potentially divine and potentially unworthy, who stands always in need of help from beyond the confines of the natural order. If education confronts this faith, education will know that the mind's adventure also, like all things human, stands in need of redemption; and it can then proceed with lowliness, and thus with the power and light which are the reward of the lowly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know how sublime a thing it is To suffer and be strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know how sublime a thing it is To suffer and be strong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52375]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An alarming amount of public information is being kept secret from citizens, and the problem is increasing by the month. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29284]]></link><description><![CDATA[An alarming amount of public information is being kept secret from citizens, and the problem is increasing by the month.

Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item></channel></rss>
