In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8933]]></link><description><![CDATA[The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have at least four to five different potato dishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38155]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have at least four to five different potato dishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who say they don't care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don't care what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59162]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who say they don't care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don't care what people think]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This has been a Benny Goodman-type market, ... lots of swing, and it's very, very difficult to get a handle ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28647]]></link><description><![CDATA[This has been a Benny Goodman-type market, ... lots of swing, and it's very, very difficult to get a handle on long-term positioning when the market is moving up and down so rapidly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a fun group and I knew there was a competitive bent, but I just didn't know how competitive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41754]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a fun group and I knew there was a competitive bent, but I just didn't know how competitive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best job goes to the person who can get it done without passing the buck or coming back with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/371]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best job goes to the person who can get it done without passing the buck or coming back with excuses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60753]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13243]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we are honest, we freely admit that the Christian system involves difficulties; but so does every other system.

No thoughtful person gives up a position merely because he finds difficulties in it; he does not abandon it until he is able to find other and alternative systems with fewer difficulties... I learned from my professors of philosophy... that, while philosophy might not provide me with a watertight intellectual defense of the Christian faith, it would, if used aright, help me to reveal the weakness of its enemies. By careful analysis it is possible to see that there are glaring weaknesses and non-sequiturs in atheism, naturalism, positivism, scientism, and psychologism. The Christian must be a fighter, for he is always under attack. The Church will not be as strong as it ought to be until each local pastor uses his precious freedom from outside employment in order to become a scholarly participant in the intellectual struggle of our day and generation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Punishment follows close on crime. [Lat., Culpam poena premit comes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Punishment follows close on crime. [Lat., Culpam poena premit comes.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Light seeking light doth light of light beguile. -Love's Labour 's Lost.
