The Power of Authority (CT Scan, Episode 22)

A message can sound true just because its source looks authoritative. Some famous experiments in the 60’s showed just how psychologically powerful authority is, revealing that over two thirds of normal adults will unwillingly hurt someone just because an authority figure says to. Knowing how persuasive authority can be reminds us that God, not man, must be our authority.
