It is... not merely a sacred book but a book so remorselessly and continuously sacred that it does not invite -- it excludes or repels -- the merely aesthetic approach. You can read it as literature only by a tour de force... It demands incessantly to be taken on its own terms: it will not continue to give literary delight very long, except to those who go to it for something quite different. I predict that it will in the future be read, as it always has been read, almost exclusively by Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of their saddles into the dirt--and thereby hangs a tale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out of their saddles into the dirt--and thereby hangs a tale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acting is half shame, half glory.

He had never seen the Book before. It taught him another lesson than that of fasts and vigils... Luther learned now that a man was saved not by singing masses, but by the infinite grace of God: a more credible hypothesis. He gradually got himself founded, as on the rock. No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man. He determined to hold by that, as through life and to death he firmly did.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7590</guid></item></channel></rss>
