	Authority
		In the good old days, not so long ago, in the context of the written word, authority was a term used primarily by librarians as a criteria of evaluation.
		People obey authority out of respect, while they obey power out of fearAuthority need not be consistent or rational, it only needs to be accepted as a source of permission or truth.
		The real upheaval lies just ahead, as a generation of school kids (and their teachers and librarians) struggle to reconcile traditional notions of education and objectivity and authority with the constructivist web of social facts and collective intelligence where folksonomies flourish and the truth is a virus of many colors.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Civil Authority
		Authority, then, in the abstract, every man loves and cherishes; and rightly so, for it is his nature to live in society, and society is kept together by authority.
		But while civil authority, or government, is natural and universal, the distribution of authority, otherwise called the form of government, or the constitution of the State, is a human convention, varying in various countries, and in the same country at different periods of its history.
		Authority, therefore, is natural to mankind collectively; and whatever is natural, and rational, and indispensable for human progress, is an ordinance of God.

	SEP: Authority
		The authority is justified in issuing the commands and attempting to force people to comply with the commands while the subjects have some kind of duty not to interfere with these activities or comply with the commands.
		And the idea of legitimate authority as an authority that has a right to rule over subjects who owe obedience to the authority and that has a right not to be interfered with by foreigners is surely an importantly distinct and perhaps ideal type of authority, which is rarely implemented.
		The most demanding notion of authority is the idea of a political authority that has a right to rule that correlates with a duty to obey that is owed to the authority and that is a content independent and preemptive duty.

	Anglican Communion: Authority In The Church III
		Authority is exercised within the Church for the sake of those outside it, that the Gospel may be proclaimed "in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction" (1 Thess 1.5).
		The challenge and responsibility for those with authority within the Church is so to exercise their ministry that they promote the unity of the whole Church in faith and life in a way that enriches rather than diminishes the legitimate diversity of local churches.
		The aim of the exercise of authority and of its reception is to enable the Church to say "Amen" to God’s "Yes" in the Gospel.

	Authority
		He is not only subject to authority of various kinds all of his lifetime, but he may also himself be in a position of power and influence over others, perhaps as parent, military officer, executive, or judge.
		Primary authority grows out of the relationship of those who have the right to command and those whose duty it is to obey.
		One of the first objections to obeying authority is, "I can't respect the one I'm supposed to obey." But it is possible to respect a person's position of authority while at the same time being aware of character deficiencies which need correction.

		Not Exercising authority over one another--a NT Change from OT.........x135.......In the Old Covenant, there were only some people who operated under God's authority--and therefore had authority over the rest of Israel.
		Authority By Implication..........x401.............Jesus taught definitively that within the church, we are not to exercise authority one over another--that His definition of ministry was NOT authority over other Christians.
		His teaching on authority is rarely ever dealt with--rather it is much more common to teach authority by supposed Biblical example--by implying that a situation or example from the Bible implies that it is necessary for leadership to exercise authority in the church.

	Fallacy: Appeal to Authority
		Since people have a tendency to believe authorities (and there are, in fact, good reasons to accept some claims made by authorities) this fallacy is a fairly common one.
		Since this sort of reasoning is fallacious only when the person is not a legitimate authority in a particular context, it is necessary to provide some acceptable standards of assessment.
		A common variation of the typical Appeal to Authority fallacy is an Appeal to an Unnamed Authority.

	"What's Your Authority?"
		The missionary (unless he is a Mormon, of course, in which case his authority is the Book of Mormon) will always claim to fall back on the authority of Scripture.
		And third, require that he prove to you both that he has the authority to interpret the Bible for you (remember that his doctrines will almost always be drawn from interpretations of the sacred text rather than the words themselves) and that his interpretations will always be accurate.
		Any Christian accepting the authority of the New Testament does so, whether or not he admits it, because he has implicit trust that the Catholic Church made the right decision in determining the canon.
