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[Silence promotes the presence of God, prevents many harsh and proud words, and suppresses many dangers in the way of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7469]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence promotes the presence of God, prevents many harsh and proud words, and suppresses many dangers in the way of ridiculing or harshly judging our neighbors...

If that is where it rests, it is an optimism which will suffer ultimate disillusionment. Romanticism will be transmuted into cynicism, as it has always been in the world's history. The faith of a Christian is something quite different from this optimism. It is trust in God, in a good God who created a good world, though the world is not now good; in a good God, powerful and good enough finally to destroy the evil that men do and redeem them of their sins. This kind of faith is not optimism. It does not, in fact, arise until optimism breaks down and men cease to trust in themselves that they are righteous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams have their place in managerial activity, but they need to be kept severely under control. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreams have their place in managerial activity, but they need to be kept severely under control.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60344]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19791]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet which fails so regularly, as love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Could I come near your beauty with my nails, I 'd set my ten commandments in your face. -King Henry ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Could I come near your beauty with my nails, I 'd set my ten commandments in your face. -King Henry VI.

And that context, astounding even to bodily eyes is the heaven of stars and the incredible procession of the great galaxies. Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer, From Chaos to Coherence Science's view of intelligence itself has begun to change. Historically, "intelligence" has been defined simply as mental capacity. Some have even proposed that it is, therefore, fixed, finite, and genetically predetermined. Now it appears intelligence has other dimensions as well, physiologically and emotionally. We all have considerably more intelligence than we thought; we just have not learned to bring our capacity for intelligence into coherence. Martin Luther King, Jr. -W.
