Description
History is clear: Whenever the church has aligned itself with worldly, coercive power, it ends up on the wrong side of important justice issues.
But when the church cooperates with Gods power through his presence among the least powerful, its witness for Jesus transforms the world into a better place.
In Reckoning with Power, David Fitch unpacks the difference between worldly power, or power over others, and Gods power, which engages not in coercion but in love, reconciliation, grace, forgiveness, and healing.
In a world where we can see the abuses of power everywherein our homes, schools, governments, and churchesFitch teaches readers how to discern power and avoid its abuses and traumas. By learning from the churchs historical pitfalls, Fitch empowers Christians to relinquish worldly power and make space for God to disrupt and transform our culture for his kingdom.
