The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it. But without the background of Jewish prophet and psalmist, of Jewish national history, it would be hard to understand Jesus. If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a precautionary measure.

"Follow me," "come unto me," and "ye will not come unto me," indicate sufficiently that what he offered to men was himself. He seeks to win men's acceptance of the truth that had come in him. His words and deeds served to indicate what manner of man he was and what kind of work he had come to do; and all the time it is a person addressing persons, seeking to gain their recognition of and their self-commitment to himself. He sought to exercise no authority over men that was not personal, both in the way it was exercised and in the way in which it was recognized and accepted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gold-barr'd butterflies to and from And over the waterside wander'd and wove  As heedless and idle as clouds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5152]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gold-barr'd butterflies to and from And over the waterside wander'd and wove  As heedless and idle as clouds that rove   And drift by the peaks of perpetual snow.   - Joaquin Miller (pseudonym of Cincinnatus Hiner Miller),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

We see that many articulate secularists are well-meaning and law-abiding men; we see them go into righteous indignation over injustice and often devote their lives to good works. So we conclude that "he can't be wrong whose life is in the right" -- that their philosophies are just as good guides to action as Christianity. What we don't see is that they are not acting on their philosophies. They are acting, out of habit or sentiment, on an inherited Christian ethic which they still take for granted though they have rejected the creed from which it sprang. Their children will inherit some what less of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These two, and the U.S. team, are in such a good space right now.
