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[All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62068]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled hearing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our fruitless labours mourn, And only rich in barren fame return. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our fruitless labours mourn, And only rich in barren fame return.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the citizens of a state cannot be equally powerful, but they may be equally free ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14112]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the citizens of a state cannot be equally powerful, but they may be equally free]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So spake the seraph Abdiel, faithful found, Among the faithless faithful only he. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15627]]></link><description><![CDATA[So spake the seraph Abdiel, faithful found, Among the faithless faithful only he.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles  What was God to do in the face of the dehumanizing of mankind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles  What was God to do in the face of the dehumanizing of mankind -- this universal hiding of the knowledge of Himself? So burdened were men with their wickedness that they seemed rather to be brute beasts than reasonable men, reflecting the very likeness of the Word. What, then, was God to do? What else could He possibly do, being God, but renew His Image in mankind, so that through it men might once more come to know Him? And how could this be done save by the coming of the very Image Himself, our Savior Jesus Christ?... Men had turned from the contemplation of God above, and were looking for Him in two opposite directions, down among created things, and things of sense. The Savior of us all, the Word of God, in His great love took to Himself a body and moved as Man among men, meeting their senses, so to speak, half-way. He became Himself an object for the senses, so that those who were seeking God in sensible things might apprehend the Father through the works which He, the Word of God, did in the body.

All too often, evangelicals are paper people. If we do not preach these things, talk about them to each other, and teach them carefully from the pulpit and in the Christian classroom, we cannot expect Christians so to act. This has always been important, but it is especially so today because we are surrounded by a world in which personality is increasingly eroded. If we, who have become God's children, do not show Him to be personal in our lives, then in practice we are denying His existence, and He cannot be anything but grieved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The recommendations in this year's report particularly make it clear that it is not just governments that are involved here. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33125]]></link><description><![CDATA[The recommendations in this year's report particularly make it clear that it is not just governments that are involved here.
