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[We're eyeball to eyeball and the other fellow just blinked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44364]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're eyeball to eyeball and the other fellow just blinked.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First we form habits, then they form us.

Christ stated emphatically that it was quite impossible, in the nature of things, for a man to be at peace with God and at variance with his neighbor. This disquieting fact is often hushed up, but it is undeniable that Christ said it, and the truth of it is enshrined in the petition for forgiveness in the "Lord's Prayer.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I dream, I am ageless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52103]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I dream, I am ageless.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43911]]></link><description><![CDATA[What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about.
