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 God's 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 God's 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 everywhere--in our homes, schools, governments, and churches--Fitch teaches readers how to discern power and avoid its abuses and traumas. By learning from the church's historical pitfalls, Fitch empowers Christians to relinquish worldly power and make space for God to disrupt and transform our culture for his kingdom.
