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[In the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism.

We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15650]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We listen with deep interest to what we hear, for to man novelty is ever charming. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50912]]></link><description><![CDATA[We listen with deep interest to what we hear, for to man novelty is ever charming.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's the rock around which we normally build our innings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42696]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's the rock around which we normally build our innings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'drather be anywhere else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22696]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'drather be anywhere else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've removed the ceiling above our dreams.
