The complete professionalization of a priestly ministry largely eliminated laymen from direct evangelism and robbed them of the missionary spirit, since they were not to be trusted to teach and could not validly administer the saving symbols. The reliance on organization and ceremonial grace, along with the growing concept of the representative relation of the Pope on earth to the Christ in heaven, involved a practical ignoring of the Holy Spirit as the divinely ordained Counterpart of the Christ and the informing soul of the Church... The vast territorial extent of Christianity and the very general ignorance of world geography made it possible for Christians to lose sight of the non-Christian world and to feel, even if somewhat vaguely, that the Christian task was complete, so far as its world occupation was concerned. The Mohammedan growth had encircled the Christian territories. The relations between Christendom and the Mohammedan world fostered anything else than a spirit of helpfulness and a disposition to give the blessings of the one to the other. Christian information about the heathen world was largely cut off by... Mohammedanism; and in order to reach the heathen, missionaries would have to make their way through Mohammedan territory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27981]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All cruelty springs from hard-heartedness and weakness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10805]]></link><description><![CDATA[All cruelty springs from hard-heartedness and weakness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only poverty that makes celibacy contemptible.

Make me truly thankful for that portion of health which Thy mercy has restored, and enable me to use the remains of life to Thy glory and my own salvation. Take not from me, O Lord, Thy Holy Spirit. Extinguish in my mind all sinful and inordinate desires. Let me resolve to do that which is right, and let me by Thy help keep my resolutions. Let me, if it is best for me, at last know peace and comfort, but whatever state of life Thou shalt appoint me, let me end it by a happy death, and enjoy eternal happiness in Thy presence, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.

This, combined with exactness and breadth of scholarship, led him so to translate the Greek New Testament into English as largely to determine the character, form, and style of the Authorized Version. There have been some painstaking calculations to determine just how large a part Tyndale may have had in the production of the version of 1611. A comparison of Tyndale's version of I John and that of the Authorized Version shows that nine-tenths of the latter is retained from the martyred translator's work. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians retains five-sixths of Tyndale's translation. These proportions are maintained throughout the entire New Testament. Such an influence as that upon the English Bible cannot be attributed to any other man in all the past. More than that, Tyndale set a standard for the English language that molded in part the character and style of the tongue during the great Elizabethan era and all subsequent time. He gave the language fixity, volubleness, grace, beauty, simplicity, and directness. His influence as a man of letters was permanent on the style and literary taste of the English people, and of all who admire the superiority and epochal character of the literature of the sixteenth century.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flattery is like friendship in show, but not in fruit ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flattery is like friendship in show, but not in fruit]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He did not arrive at this conclusion by the decent process of quiet, logical deduction, nor yet by the blinding ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41527]]></link><description><![CDATA[He did not arrive at this conclusion by the decent process of quiet, logical deduction, nor yet by the blinding flash of glorious intuition, but by the shoddy, untidy process halfway between the two by which one usually gets to know things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An entrepreneur assumes the risk and is dedicated and committed to the success of whatever he or she undertakes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13983]]></link><description><![CDATA[An entrepreneur assumes the risk and is dedicated and committed to the success of whatever he or she undertakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13983</guid></item></channel></rss>
