They are what they always have been, the individual's problems -- the meaning of life and death, the mastery of self, the quest for value and worth-whileness and freedom within, the transcending of loneliness, the longing for love and a sense of significance, and for peace.

If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history.

The high priest placed both his hands on the head of a goat and confessed all the sins of the nation. Then the goat carrying the sins of the people is sent off into the wilderness. But it is not just a piece of history!   There is in the modern world a quest for scapegoats though with one enormous difference. Whenever there is an accident or a tragedy, there is a search for someone to blame. Often all the modern means of communication join in; accusations, resignations, demands for compensation and the rest. If a guilty person is found, then an orgy of condemnation and vilification. Rarely a sense of, there but for the grace of God go I. Instead of dealing gently with one another's failure because of our own vulnerability to criticism, there is the presumption that we are in a fit condition to judge and to condemn.   The enormous difference? The original scapegoat followed a confession of the sins of the people. There was no blaming of someone else, but an admission of guilt and a quest for the forgiveness of God. The goat wasn't hated, but was a dramatic picture of the carrying away sins. It was the very opposite of a selfrighteous victimisation of someone else.   Ever since 200 A.D., Christians have seen the scapegoat as a picture of Jesus. As it was led out to die in the wilderness bearing the sins of the people, so he was crucified outside Jerusalem for our sins. We are to be both forgiven and forgiving people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chicago's buoy was a couple of hundred yards astern of Arizona, and I was saddened to look at her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chicago's buoy was a couple of hundred yards astern of Arizona, and I was saddened to look at her.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sylphs and ondines And the sea-kings and queens  Long ago, long ago, on the waves built a city, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60481]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sylphs and ondines And the sea-kings and queens  Long ago, long ago, on the waves built a city,   As lovely as seems    To some bard in his dreams,     The soul of his latest love-ditty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less, until eventually he knows everything about nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1401]]></link><description><![CDATA[An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less, until eventually he knows everything about nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty.
