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[Out of their saddles into the dirt--and thereby hangs a tale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out of their saddles into the dirt--and thereby hangs a tale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60460]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15123]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wild swan's death-hymn took the soul Of that waste place with joy  Hidden in sorrow: at first to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58464]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wild swan's death-hymn took the soul Of that waste place with joy  Hidden in sorrow: at first to the ear   The warble was low, and full and clear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got things like the lotus position long before anybody else did, or at least in the mainstream.

This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride At length broke under me and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye: I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have: And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again. -King Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My plan of building from the back continues.
