The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it. But without the background of Jewish prophet and psalmist, of Jewish national history, it would be hard to understand Jesus. If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rule #1: Don't sweat the small stuff.

Rather does he create Him in the image of his cravings and dreams- in the image of what man wants to be. God making could be part of the process by which a society realizes its aspirations: it first embodies them in the conception of a particular God, and then proceeds to imitate that God. The confidence requisite for attempting the unprecedented is most effectively generated by the fiction that in realizing the new we are imitating rather than originating. Our preoccupation with heaven can be part of an effort to find precedents for the unprecedented.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66863]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is good for the Internet, because it means more and more companies will have confidence that their content can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28798]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is good for the Internet, because it means more and more companies will have confidence that their content can be securely streamed to end-users.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a momentous case.
