Not surprisingly, power language became a central part of the New Testament's understanding of God and human relationships. In \u003ci\u003ePower, Service, Humility\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003ci\u003ePower, Service, Humility\u003c\/i\u003e provokes thoughtful considerations of both human and divine relationships with power and power's holy place within the Christian faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reinhard Feldmeier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1481300253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481300254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baylor University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Reinhard Feldmeier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065965310207,"sku":"9781481300254","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_606bb3f0-89e2-4512-ae58-f10fc36f8b55.jpg?v=1685404555","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/power-service-humility-reinhard-feldmeier-9781481300254","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
