Divine Authority
Divine Authority refers to the power or right that is believed to come from a higher spiritual source, often associated with God or other deities. This concept is prevalent in many religions, where leaders or texts are seen as having the ultimate moral or spiritual guidance. Followers often look to these sources for direction in their lives and decisions.
In various religious traditions, Divine Authority can manifest through sacred texts, such as the Bible in Christianity or the Quran in Islam. Additionally, religious leaders, like priests or imams, may be viewed as representatives of this authority, helping to interpret and convey spiritual teachings to their communities.
