I do not mean to say that Christ is not mentioned as the author of all good, but that stress is laid on the believing rather than on the object of belief, on the comfort and persuasiveness of the doctrine than on the doctrine itself. And in this way religion is made to consist of contemplating ourselves, instead of Christ; not simply in looking to Christ, but in seeing that we look to Christ; not in His divinity and atonement, but in our conversion and faith in Him...

Fully persuaded that the Bible was an imposture, they were determined to expose [it]. Mr. West chose the Resurrection of Christ, and Lord Lyttleton the conversion of St Paul, for the subject of hostile criticism. Both sat down to their respective tasks full of prejudice and a contempt for Christianity. The results of their separate endeavours was that they were both converted by their attempts to overthrow the truth of Christianity! They came together, not as they had expected, to exult over an imposture exposed to ridicule, but to lament their folly and congratulate each other on their joint conviction, that the Bible was the word of God. Their able enquiries have furnished two most valuable treatises in favour of revelation -- one, entitled "Observations on the Conversion of St Paul", and the other, "Observations on the Resurrection of Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1680]]></link><description><![CDATA[To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Riches are a good handmaiden, but the worst mistress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Riches are a good handmaiden, but the worst mistress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Immediately after the injury, nerve cells inside die and others lose their ability to pass on signals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Immediately after the injury, nerve cells inside die and others lose their ability to pass on signals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28550</guid></item></channel></rss>
