not to value and employ men of superior ability is the way to.

keep the people from rivalry among themselves; not to prize articles.

which are difficult to procure is the way to keep them from becoming.

Not to value and employ men of superior ability is the way to
keep the people from rivalry among themselves; not to prize articles
which are difficult to procure is the way to keep them from becoming
thieves; not to show them what is likely to excite their desires is
the way to keep their minds from disorder.

Therefore the sage, in the exercise of his government, empties
their minds, fills their bellies, weakens their wills, and strengthens
their bones.

He constantly (tries to) keep them without knowledge and without
desire, and where there are those who have knowledge, to keep them
from presuming to act (on it). When there is this abstinence from
action, good order is universal.

so i've read carl olof jonsson's books the gentile times reconcidered and sign of the last days when, also raymond franz's two books crisis of conscience and in search or cristian freedom.

i am now reading a book entitled the bible unearthed by neil asher silberman and israel finkelstien which has been interesting however it stops at the old testement.

i'm looking for reccomendations on books to read next that go into the historicity of the new testement particularly from an archaeological and historical point of view.. thanks..
