In this accessible and enlightening book, Daniel Migliore offers a study of the nature of God's power. Migliore calls for a reassessment of our understanding of the power of God and, through his exploration of historical and biblical references, provides his own analysis of God's power. A complete understanding of the power of God, Migliore argues, will profoundly affect how we live and how we exert power as individuals and as nations. With his trademark clarity and passion, Migliore calls Christian disciples to reassess our understanding of the power of God. Artfully weaving stories, historic and biblical references, and keen theological insights, he presents a compelling critique of our grasp of the gods of power. I anticipate sharing this text and its helpful study questions with my congregation, just as I recommend it to others. --Carrie N. Mitchell, First Presbyterian Church, Pittsford, New York Migliore's lucid and lively study of the nature of God s power is as accessible as it is illuminating. Rooted in Scripture, conversant with classical and contemporary theology, full of engaging illustrations, and keenly attentive to questions arising from the everyday experiences of power and powerlessness, this challenging and timely work will be widely used in both the church and the academy. --Adam Neder, Assistant Professor, Department of Theology and Philosophy, Whitworth University, Spokane, Washington In distinction from some who turn to philosophical schemes alone for new understandings of power, Migliore recovers the reading of the scriptures and doctrines of the Trinity, the Incarnation, and the Cross as witnesses to the power of the one God. These witnesses subvert the gods of power that many of us in church and society take to be in charge. Helpful questions conclude each chapter to aid the reader and discussion groups. --Robert Cathey, Associate Professor of Theology, McCormick Theological Seminary Daniel L.
