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[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730 Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   The Hebrew religion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7916]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730 Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   The Hebrew religion was an unfinished religion. That is one of the best proofs of its divine inspiration. The prophets had the forward look [and] great things were yet to come. As one of the most daring expressed it, the old and hallowed covenant, made by God at the Exodus, would be superseded by a new and higher relation; God would write his law into the hearts of the people; the old drill in outward statutes would disappear, for all men would know God by an inward experience of forgiveness and love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By the time he arrived at the hospital at 3:30 (Friday), he converted to a normal rhythm, and therefore no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34315]]></link><description><![CDATA[By the time he arrived at the hospital at 3:30 (Friday), he converted to a normal rhythm, and therefore no therapeutic interventions were necessary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May you have love that never ends, lots of money and lots of friends.

Though there was a little superstition in this, yet truly there is nothing but good religion in it, if we apply it to men. Trample not on any; there may be some work of grace there, that thou knowest not of. The name of God may be written upon that soul thou treadest on; it may be a soul that Christ thought so much of, as to give His precious blood for it; therefore despise it not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman's general.

The Jackdaw, knowing his own ugliness, searched through the woods and fields, and collected the feathers which had fallen from the wings of his companions, and stuck them in all parts of his body, hoping thereby to make himself the most beautiful of all. When the appointed day arrived, and the birds had assembled before Jupiter, the Jackdaw also made his appearance in his many feathered finery. But when Jupiter proposed to make him king because of the beauty of his plumage, the birds indignantly protested, and each plucked from him his own feathers, leaving the Jackdaw nothing but a Jackdaw.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For those who believe, no proof is necessary.
