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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReinhard Feldmeier is Professor of New Testament, Georg-August-University, Göttingen.
