Since ancient times, depictions of the divine have been painted
with the colors of divine power. Not surprisingly, power language
became a central part of the New Testament's understanding of God
and human relationships. In Power, Service, Humility, biblical
scholar Reinhard Feldmeier reads across the New Testament
canon--the Gospels, Pauline epistles, and Revelation of John--to
distinguish two ways in which power works. Feldmeier's chief claim
is that power based on oppression, the kind Satan offers Christ, is
a far different kind of power than the empowerment that God grants
Jesus in the resurrection. Further, Feldmeier demonstrates the
antithetical link between worldly power and the power present in
Christ-like service and humility. As Feldmeier discovers, the
differences between sacred and secular power have dramatic
implications for how humans handle power within the church and
beyond. Power, Service, Humility provokes thoughtful considerations
of both human and divine relationships with power and power's holy
place within the Christian faith.
