Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire. [Fr., L'absence diminue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire. [Fr., L'absence diminue les mediocres passions et augmente les grandes, comme le vent eteint les bougies et allume le feu.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[View the whole scene, with critic judgment scan, And then deny him merit if you can.  Where he falls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27381]]></link><description><![CDATA[View the whole scene, with critic judgment scan, And then deny him merit if you can.  Where he falls short, 'tis Nature's fault alone   Where he succeeds, the merit's all his own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's wiser being good than bad; It's safer being meek than fierce:  It's fitter being sane than mad.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9144]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's wiser being good than bad; It's safer being meek than fierce:  It's fitter being sane than mad.   My own hope is, a sun will pierce    The thickest cloud earth ever stretched;     That, after Last, returns the First,      Though a wide compass round be fetched;       That what began best, can't end worst,        Nor what God blessed once, prove accurst.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easy to be tolerant of the principles of other people if you have none of your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59431]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easy to be tolerant of the principles of other people if you have none of your own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We really did.

This bondage becomes most painfully apparent in our lives when we earnestly feel the need of changing but cannot; when we are attracted to another value that for one reason or another conflicts with the desires of our true god --that value nearest and dearest to us. But our true god lies so deeply inside us that often we are not even consciously aware of its presence or of what it actually is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14336]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944   The paleontological evidence before us today clearly demonstrates ordered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7591]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944   The paleontological evidence before us today clearly demonstrates ordered progressive change with the successive development of new faunal and floral assemblages through the changing epochs of our earth's history. There should be no real conflict between science, which is the search for truth, and Christ's teachings, which I hold to be truth itself.
