	Earthly Powers: The Clash of Religion and Politics in Europe, from the French Revolution to the Great War by Michael ...
		The overall effect was a widespread increase in secularism and a demystification of the power of politics.
		Earthly Powers is a magisterial history that sheds new light on the momentous struggles between church and state, from the French Revolution to the totalitarian movements of the twentieth century.
		Written with astonishing breadth and sophistication, this is a uniquely powerful portrait of one of the great tensions in modern history, one that continues to be played out on the world stage today.

	House of Mirth: Earthly Powers
		At that point Powers was doing one of his rare publicity tours--he's not a guy with much relish for the PR treadmill--and I was working at Amazon.
		Powers: No. After leaving school, I moved to Boston and worked as a computer programmer and was pretty much reading in a random, pleasure-driven way.
		Powers: There is, as you say, something in the process of growth that passes all understanding.

	ROMANS 13 CH13
		The reason for this command is that "there is no power but of God." Despite the fact that men grasp earthly authority by means of armed might, deceitful manipulation or clever persuasion, they really do not achieve their position of authority because of their own efforts.
		Therefore, obedience to earthly governments is the same thing as obedience to God, for governments obtain and maintain their authority by the ordination of God.
		Therefore, their government's power can never really be a threat to their heavenly hope and they should never feel the need to protect themselves by means of rebellion or revolution.

	Living in the Heavenly Realms
		Power can be an extremely destructive thing in any context, but in the service of religion it is downright diabolical.
		The powers therefore are beings who forsook the sovereignty of God and accepted the worship of those whom they were sent to serve.
		When the powers saw the unified church, that both Jews and Gentiles were worshipping together, they realized that their dominion had been broken.

	Book Review: Earthly Powers - The Clash of Religion and Politics in Europe, from the French Revolution to the Great War ...
		In his latest book, Earthly Powers, he goes back to the nineteenth century — more specifically, the period that runs from the French Revolution's outbreak in 1789 to the First World War — in order to uncover the origins of such nationalist extremism.
		Earthly Powers is a "history of European secularization" that nonetheless reveals how that secularized world retained its religious impulses.
		Earthly Powers ends with Benedict XV and a young Vatican diplomat named Eugenio Pacelli, the future Pius XII, vainly attempting to broker a peace in a continent seemingly driven insane by nationalist frenzy and unprecedented battlefield carnage.

		God's power is not the power of death, for death is "the last enemy," which will itself be destroyed (1 Corinthians 15:26).
		God's power is the power to create, the power to endure, the power to forgive, the power to love.

		This narrator, Kenneth Toomey, is what Earthly Powers is "about" on the simplest level: his outrageous cultural, religious, literary and sexual adventures amongst the movers and shakers, fictitious and real, of the modern age.
		Earthly Powers is exciting and entertaining in so many ways, from sheer quality of authorship through to scope of plot and impact of incident.
		Earthly Powers has long been one of my favourite novels and I used to make a point of re-reading it at least once every couple of years, so rich are the themes and content, so immediate are the characters.

	New Statesman - Earthly powers
		Part science, part mysticism, Gaia certainly runs as a powerful thread through the modern green movement, sometimes embarrassing its founder but prompting serious symposia nonetheless (like the continuing series at the Linnean Society of London, chaired by Melvyn Bragg).
		Earthly life is robust; it adjusts to wildly different circumstances.
		But although Gaia may have very little literal validity - we can't really see earthly life as a collective organism - it may be worthwhile as a metaphor.

	Earthly Powers by C.T. Rossi
		Burleigh’s thesis — the danger of state power cloaked in the guise of faith — is not novel but what makes his work so valuable is the detail of scholarship.
		A pleasant surprise for the reader of Burleigh’s work is the mention of F.A. Voigt and his prescient 1938 condemnation of European totalitarian powers, Unto Caesar — a study of secular religion which takes us beyond the timeframe of Earthly Powers to the twilight between the World Wars.
		While many of the patterns and rhythms of history displayed in Earthly Powers and Unto Caesar are ominously present in today’s culture, despair is not the appropriate response.

		We believe in angelic powers, and whether Morrison and others believe in them, they are at least making something of an effort to report what the Bible says without imposing their own beliefs on it.
		That Paul has obviously applied to the heavenly powers passages which refer to nations offers evidence that he accepted a system in which there were angelic powers behind the things of this world, including the nations and their rulers.
		That Paul should associate the Old Testament's hope for Israel with the defeat of spiritual powers was only natural in the light of the contemporary belief that victory over earthly powers must be initiated in the heavenly spheres.

	Above All Earthly Powers Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		You become acquainted and fall in love with blind ‘Tomcat’ and follow him around as he is able to escape the mental institution and find his friends, tell them where he and the other five have been hidden, and then his return back to the institution to wait for ‘the rescue’.
		Even though Above All Earthly Powers is book three in the Songs of the Night series, it easily stands alone.
		Having experienced the sheer magnitude of the ‘small piece’ of the wall that the museum had, it had to be a daunting job to dream up escape attempts and then try to carry them out with armed guards ready to shoot without warning.

		The religion of the Revolution was unable to do two things which are the work of an earthly religion: to produce social solidarity and to constrain the passions.
		His most thought provoking insight is that the argument for the utility of religion typically begins on the Right as an effort to preserve the role religion in buttressing social order, but moves inexorably to the Progressives, with their visions of providential exceptionalism and nationalism.
		Earthly Powers never quite reckons with the questions which transcend the story.

	Europe and the legend of secularization - Arts & Leisure - International Herald Tribune
		"Earthly Powers" begins with a potted history of the French Enlightenment attack on religion and the bloody suppression of the church by the Jacobins after the revolution.
		Three classes of fantasies appear in the rich material collected in "Earthly Powers." One, perhaps the most familiar to us and most current in Europe today, was that religious sentiments would progressively atrophy in a democratic world of equal citizens, free scientific inquiry and public education.
		When this proved not to be the case, secular forces in France's Third Republic and Bismarck's Germany took matters into their own hands by trying to drive every last vestige of the Catholic heritage out of the educational establishments.

		Burleigh is the author of "Earthly Powers" (Harper-Collins), published this month in America, the first of a two-volume history of religion and politics, from the French Revolution to the present; the second volume "Sacred Causes," is to appear later this year.
		The only power which could thwart them, Voegelin argued, was a genuinely transcendent religion, which refused to try to create heaven on earth, and therefore brought sanity and stability to this world, in preparation for the next.
		It would not be an exaggeration to say that many Dutchmen, confronted by the abuses of the euthanasia brigade, and the brutal killing, by a jihadist fanatic, of filmmaker Theo van Gogh, (descendent of the painter), who dared to criticize Islamic extremism, have woken up, and are in the process of re-discovering their Christian heritage.

		As the religious powers are now unifying for bargaining power with the emerging global secular powers this process is unleashing bigger and more powerful rulers in the heavenly realms.
		As you make your earthly pronouncements and enter into your earthly covenants you bind or loose angelic principalities and powers in the heavens.-Mat.16:19 It is the people of God by their authorising and loosing of these unholy alliances that will ultimately loose the dark angelic spirits over the endtime harlot system and antichrist system."

		Her royal power, her priestly office, her sexual powers are of no avail in the underworld.

		She insists on personal experiencing and personal response to the needs of the human situation.” The idea is to transform the chaotic power of the abysmal Yin, the Medusa, into the play of life, to mediate the terrifying face of the Gorgon into the helpful one of Athena.

	Who is the Anti-Christ?
		Followers of Ahriman pursue the acquisition of earthly powers and are prepared to do anything to acquire and maintain those powers.
		The most important thing is to recognize beings for what they are, and not to be deceived as to their true nature, and to use them and what they offer consciously, rather than allow them to use us as pawns in the pursuit of their inhuman aims.
		If they can keep a monopoly on that knowledge then they can more easily maintain their power as they can use devices to influence the subconscious of man, knowing that the conscious mind will not realise that the individual is being remotely manipulated.

		For the exaltation of the subject may bring his power so near that of his sovereign that he may well be able to assert his independence or to usurp the throne; and even where this is not actually the case he may at any rate contemplate the possibility of a successful rebellion.
		Moreover, the powers and dignities of an earthly prince may be compatible with much ignorance and folly.
		As might be expected from the attention they had bestowed on the question of the intellectual powers of the angels, the medieval theologians had much to say on the time of their probation.

	'Earthly Powers,' by Michael Burleigh - The New York Times Book Review - New York Times
		Since World War II, Europeans have stared in blank amazement across the Atlantic at a new global power whose citizens and even leaders seem to believe myths about the old bearded man in the sky.
		While 19th-century Protestant America was searching for God by immersing itself in the Bible, experiencing one Great Awakening after another, Europe entered an age of anxiety over the prospect of living in a disenchanted cosmos.
		As Michael Burleigh disarmingly admits in the introduction to "Earthly Powers," he tripped across these questions while hunting other game.

		Because the earthly authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God, he who oposses the earthly authorities oposses the arrangement of God.
		If the Elohim allow earthly authorities to operate, then they are the ones with the authority, we only think earthly governments have authority because that is what we have been taught to beleive.
		And mention also made of the powers of the heavens being shaken, those powers being the earthly authorities as established and allowed to hold their relative positions of authority in the earth by the Elohim themselves.

		But Iamblichus would have taught how the organism of man is related to the forty-two earthly Powers, the seventy-two sub-heavenly or planetary Powers, and the three hundred and sixty heavenly Powers.
		Just as to-day man is said to be composed of earthly substances, in the time of Iamblichus he was known to represent a confluence of forces streaming from the spiritual universe.
		This wisdom was well suited to bring about reconciliation between the different religions, not as the outcome of vague sentiment but of the knowledge that the different Gods of the peoples constitute, in their totality, one great system — the four hundred and seventy-four Gods.
