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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always thought that my ear is also very influenced by my eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34492]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always thought that my ear is also very influenced by my eyes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But these are foolish things to all the wise, And I love wisdom more than she loves me;  My ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61754]]></link><description><![CDATA[But these are foolish things to all the wise, And I love wisdom more than she loves me;  My tendency is to philosophise   On most things, from a tyrant to a tree;    But still the spouseless virgin Knowledge flies,     What are we? and whence come we? what shall be      Our ultimate existence?

It may be that today the philosopher is honouring the Name af God when he insists that we should know what we mean when we utter our religious language and that we should be ready to have that meaning tested. It may be that other philosophers hallow the Name when they refuse to allow us to withdraw it to some supernatural realm, but insist on wrestling with the unknown God in the agony and joy of existence, crying with Jacob, "Tell me, I pray thee, thy Name." And is not the scientist honouring the Name when he patiently and obediently follows where the evidence leads? Or the social scientist when he asks us to understand what is before we begin pronouncing what ought to be? God does not spend all His time in Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a difference between beauty and charm.
