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['Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song;  But the man worth while is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56692]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song;  But the man worth while is the one who will smile   When everything does dead wrong;    For the test of the heart is trouble,     And it always comes with the years,      But the smile that is worth the praise of earth       Is the smile that comes through tears.        . . . .         But the virtue that conquers passion,          And the sorrow that hides in a smile--           It is these that are worth the homage of earth,            For we find them but once in a while.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patrons from around the world have always been gearing together for benefits--it's the serendipity effect, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32943]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patrons from around the world have always been gearing together for benefits--it's the serendipity effect,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is not a matter of God, church, holy cause, etc. These are but accessories.

The source of religious preoccupation is in the self, or rather the rejection of the self. Dedication is the obverse side of self-rejection.
