Power and the Spirit of God

In this book the distinguished Roman Catholic theologian Bernard Cooke reassesses the long-standing Christian description of divine power. The word power evokes the spheres of economic political and social life. Cooke suggests however that the deepest questions about conflicting powers are theological and concern what Christians have traditionally referred to as the Holy Spirit and salvation. He believes that the twentieth-century reappraisal of the theological view of power may represent the most radical paradigm shift to touch Christianity in eighteen hundred years.
