  The 72 Names of God: Technology for the Soul

  by Yehudah Berg

  The power of The 72 Names of God operates strictly on a soul level, not a physical one. It's about spirituality, not religiosity. Instead of being limited by the differences that divide people, the wisdom of the Names transcends humanity's age-old quarrels and belief systems to deal with one common bond that unifies all people and nations as one — the human soul.

What is it about their typicality that produces an impression of strangeness? Michael Newman explores Prince's work and his revival of the image through... (more)
