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","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46490082967703,"sku":"9781481300254","price":2900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781481300254.jpg?v=1766344178","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/power-service-humility-a-new-testament-ethic-9781481300254","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
