Chapter 2The Love of Power

Schweiker, William

Pages: 15 –43

[In the following pages I want to address a question at the intersection of authority, power, and religion. How can and ought we to speak about moral authority, that is, the authority of norms, ideals, and values in the responsible life. The focus of my reflections is the “sources of...

Chapter 3The Power of Love

Tanner, Kathryn

Pages: 45 –65

[Cstianity’s ambivalence about power is apparent. Its history has a disconcerting way of oscillating between unequivocal hostility and ready complicity with “the powers that be.” Its scriptures routinely apply epithets of supreme power and might to God even as they tell of a divine mission for...

Daniel, Joshua

Pages: 109 –127

[One of the most paradigmatic functions of authority is to render judgment— not only to judge those who face it (whether these find themselves on authority’s bad side or need to appeal to authority’s good side), but perhaps more significantly to judge the direction of the future for those in its...

Chapter 7Interpreting Power: Rethinking the Relationship between Mythos and Logos as Prolegomena to an Intercultural Theological Hermeneutics

Grau, Marion

Pages: 129 –149

[The practice of interpretation, which hermeneutics discusses, is a form of religious, social, and cultural power: interpretive frames determine our perceptions, how we read the past into the present, and eventually how we act, personally and communally. As our world is becoming increasingly...

Chapter 8Theology and Real Politics: On Huey P. Newton

Lloyd, Vincent

Pages: 151 –173

[Panther, the Mario and Melvin Van Peebles film fictionalizing the early days of the Black Panther Party, begins with the familiar sounds of “We Shall Overcome,” and the familiar voice of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.1 Soon the images turn to documentary footage of the violent repression of...
