Theologia Germanica    November 12, 1997  The Partisan Review, a journal of literary opinion representing a section of advanced secular thought, recently published a series of papers answering the question, "Why has there been a turn toward religion among intellectuals?" The asking of the question is significant. Few writers dispute the fact implied by it. Most of the contributors, whether they count themselves among those who have "turned to religion" or not, find the principal reason for it in the collapse of the optimistic hope that modern science and human good will would bring the world into an era of peace and justice. The confidence in that outcome has been so violently shaken that men must ask whether there are not higher resources than man's to sustain courage and hope. The faith of the Bible points to such sources. God works within the tragic destiny of human efforts with a healing power, and a reconciling spirit. Even those who have felt completely superior to all "outworn" religious notions, must look today at least wistfully to the possibility that such a God lives and works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be bastards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be bastards.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[That position, Abrams said, led Miller's team to assume that Libby wasn't really keen on seeing Miller testify, no matter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34943]]></link><description><![CDATA[[That position, Abrams said, led Miller's team to assume that Libby wasn't really keen on seeing Miller testify, no matter what Libby's lawyers implied--a hesitation that gave Miller pause.] He didn't call.
