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[Rumor is not always wrong ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rumor is not always wrong]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil thoughts often come from idleness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evil thoughts often come from idleness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend; Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16770]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend; Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde;  But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe;   The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe.   - edited by John Payne Collier,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He makes a solitude, and calls it peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48741]]></link><description><![CDATA[He makes a solitude, and calls it peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this theater of man's life, it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers-on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24624]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this theater of man's life, it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers-on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concluding a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   A loving Personality dominates the Bible, walking among the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7011]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concluding a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   A loving Personality dominates the Bible, walking among the trees of the garden and breathing fragrance over every scene.

He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure. You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. What you are, that you are; neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.  Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ  [With thanks to Roger E. Doriot]    February 12, 1997  Ash Wednesday  Were Christians duly instructed how many lesser differences in mind and judgment and practice are really consistent with the nature, ends, and genuine fruit of the unity that Christ requires among them, it would undoubtedly prevail with them so as to manage themselves in their differences by mutual forbearance and condescension in their love, as not to contract the guilt of being disturbers or breakers of it. To speak plainly, among all the churches in the world which are free from idolatry and persecution, it is not different opinions, nor a difference in judgment about revealed truths, nor a different practice in sacred administrations, but pride, self-interest, love of honour, reputation, and dominion, with the influence of civil or political intrigues and considerations, that are the true cause of that defect of evangelical unity that is at this day amongst them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple. -Oscar Wilde. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59890]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple. -Oscar Wilde.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think people are willing to spend more to have a premium experience so they're buying less but they're buying ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30542]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think people are willing to spend more to have a premium experience so they're buying less but they're buying higher quality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Harken to reason or shee will bee heard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Harken to reason or shee will bee heard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's to you, as good as you are, And here's to me, as bad as I am;  But as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's to you, as good as you are, And here's to me, as bad as I am;  But as good as you are, and as bad as I am,   I am as good as your are, as bad as I am.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town.
