Anna J. Clark explores 'divine qualities', such as Concord, Faith, Hope, and Clemency, to show how they reveal an aspect of how Romans thought about themselves. Clark draws on a wide range of evidence (literature, drama, coins, architecture, inscriptions and graffiti) to show that these qualities were relevant to a wide range of people.
This book explores an aspect of how Romans thought about themselves. Its subject is 'divine qualities': qualities like Concord, Faith, Hope, Clemency, Fortune, Freedom, Piety, and Victory, which received public cult in Rome in the Republican period. Anna Clark draws on a wide range of evidence (literature, drama, coins, architecture, inscriptions and graffiti) to show that these qualities were not simply given cult because they were intrinsically important to 'Romans'. They rather became 'Roman' through claims, counter-claims, appropriations and explorations of them by different individuals. The resources brought into existence by cult (temples, altars, coin images, statues, passwords, votive inscriptions) were visible and accessible to a broad range of people. Divine qualities were relevant to a broader social spectrum than is usually recognized, and this has important consequences for our understanding of Roman society.
Life is a room of tables where we sit and form families, groups and societies that feed materially and spiritually on what is served at them based on the menu that the various groups have ordered ( voted for) from the political and intellectual managers and leaders. I can sit at any table I want, I am free, but at most tables the spiritual food is gone and what is presented is the psychological and emotional reckoning of pride that has denied God and His love. But right next to the brothers and sisters with anxiety and depression who do not yet know what is coming because their superiors promise not to abandon them if they obey and pay their tribute, there are tables of people who are receiving excellent and very substantial food, in abundance and with no end in sight. It is food that does not become stale, that strengthens the soul and gives life; it is the food of true abundance, the spiritual food that points to the only truth, God.
First appearing the 1920 and 1921 issues of The GOLDEN AGE magazine, the series of articles titled COLOR & CHARACTER may be one of the first attempts at a "unified field theory" of Christian Psychology. Moving from a discussion of color, then to sound, music and speech, then to physiognomy and psychology, the author takes us on an unusual journey.

An examination of the sources and evolution of personal authority in one Islamic society Sufi Heirs of the Prophet explores the multifaceted development of personal authority in Islamic societies by tracing the transformation of one mystical sufi lineage in colonial India, the Naqshbandiyya. Arthur F. Buehler isolates four sources of personal authority evident in the practices of the Naqshbandiyya—lineage, spiritual traveling, status as a Prophetic exemplar, and the transmission of religious knowledge—to demonstrate how Muslim religious leaders have exercised charismatic leadership through their association with the most compelling of personal Islamic symbols, the Prophet Muhammad. Buehler clarifies the institutional structure of sufism, analyzes overlapping configurations of personal sufi authority, and details how and why revivalist Indian Naqshbandis abandoned spiritual practices that had sustained their predecessors for more than five centuries. He looks specifically at the role of Jama'at 'Ali Shah (d. 1951) to explain current Naqshbandi practices.
