{"product_id":"9781481300254","title":"Power, Service, Humility","description":"\u003cbr\u003eSince 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 \u003cem\u003ePower, Service, Humility\u003c\/em\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. \u003cem\u003ePower, Service, Humility\u003c\/em\u003e provokes thoughtful considerations of both human and divine relationships with power and power's holy place within the Christian faith.","brand":"Baylor University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048542159088,"sku":"9781481300254","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781481300254_p0.jpg?v=1763621188","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781481300254","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
