CHAPTER

Reimagining Divine Power

This chapter explores the concept of divine power through the lens of love rather than traditional authority, introducing the idea of 'amipotence' to describe a God engaged in human affairs. The speakers discuss how evolving images of God impact theological beliefs and the interpretation of personal experiences, especially in the context of suffering and growth. By critiquing traditional notions of omnipotence, they advocate for a relational understanding of God, emphasizing empathy and partnership in the journey of life.
