Is it a total contradiction of it? Is it some sort of a reflection of it? or perhaps a devil's parody of it? Or has it nothing to do with it at all? Perhaps there will be many Christians to whom it would not occur to pose the question whether the process of secularization has anything to do with the biblical understanding of the goal of history. The Bible, for them, belongs to a religious world which is not admitted to belong to the world of secular events -- the world in which we are when we read the daily newspaper. But this is to read the Bible wrongly. Whatever else it may be, the Bible is a secular book dealing with the sort of events which a news editor accepts for publication in a daily newspaper; it is concerned with secular events, wars, revolutions, enslavements and liberations, migrants and refugees, famines and epidemics and all the rest. It deals with events which happened and tells a story which can be checked. We miss this because we do not sufficiently treat the Bible as a whole. When we do this, we see at once that the Bible -- whatever be the variety of material which it contains: poetry, prayers, legislation, genealogy, and all the rest -- is in its main design a universal history. It is an interpretation of human history as a whole, beginning with the saga of creation and ending with a vision of the gathering together of all the nations and the consummation of God's purpose for mankind. The Bible is an outline of world history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is not so common. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9020]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense is not so common.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man's theology is another man's belly laugh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66080]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The minority of a country is never known to agree, except in its efforts to reduce and oppress the majority. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27539]]></link><description><![CDATA[The minority of a country is never known to agree, except in its efforts to reduce and oppress the majority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63723]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction.

The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our elections are free -- it's in the results where eventually we pay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47540]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our elections are free -- it's in the results where eventually we pay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a shame.
