This is an article from Hakirah vol. 2.
Divine omnipotence is an integral tenet of Jewish monotheism. In contrast to the ancient pagan religions whose gods were little more (and often much less) than glorified humans, possessed of the same corporeal, psychological, and conceptual limitations as humans, Judaism’s innovation was its insistence on a transcendental G-d, fundamentally different from anything within the human sphere of experience. Omnipotence is one of the inextricably linked attributes that comprise this conception, along with incorporeality, oneness, and omniscience.
