The Glory of Man & the Glory of God

What resonance does the word glory have in today’s English language? How often is it used, and with what meaning? The adjective glorious is familiar enough—we might say that we saw a “glorious” sunset, and we might hear of a pop star such as Beyoncé “in all her glory.” 

In the Greek and Roman worlds, glory was associated with fame, reputation, and, especially, honor. These qualities were to be sought above all else, and most often were particularly associated with military glory.
