I contend that the historicity does matter, and I do not see why we, who live nearly two thousand years later, should call into question an Event for which there were many eye-witnesses still living at the time when most of the New Testament was written. It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57013]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite.

It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The amount of time required to complete a government project is precisely equal to the length of time already spent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48388]]></link><description><![CDATA[The amount of time required to complete a government project is precisely equal to the length of time already spent on it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[a long road to go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36964]]></link><description><![CDATA[a long road to go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two heads are better than one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two heads are better than one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together. -All 's Well that Ends Well. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55727]]></link><description><![CDATA[The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together. -All 's Well that Ends Well.
