This critical shift requires constant diligence, discipline and practice.

The god declared to Ariston, to whom she was about to be married, the parentage of the child.

The people who practice authenticity work their ass off at it.

• Like every man who appears at an epoch which is historical and rendered famous by his works, Jesus Christ has a history, a history which the church and the world possess, and which, surrounded by countless memorials, has at least the same authenticity as any other history formed in the same countries, amidst the same peoples and in the same times. As, then, if I would study the lives of Brutus and Cassius, I should calmly open Plutarch, I open the Gospel to study Jesus Christ, and I do so with the same composure.
