Power in Weakness: Paul’s Transformed Vision for Ministry ( Chikara wa Yowasa no Uchini: Bokkaisha Pauro Jujika no Sugata o Ikiru )
After Paul’s encounter with the risen Christ on the road to Damascus, he turned from coercion and violence to a ministry centered on the hope of Christ’s resurrection. Paul had traded power for weakness and explained in his subsequent letters—this “weakness” was the essential key to flourishing community that can experience God’s transformation, restoration, and healing. What would it mean for pastors today to take seriously Paul’s exhortation in 1 Corinthians 11:1 to “imitate me as I imitate Christ” and lead their congregations in this way? Gombis guides the reader through practices and patterns that can lead a congregation past a focus on individual salvation, toward becoming instead a site of resurrection power on earth. 46, 280 pp. ISBN978-4-264-04588-5 ¥2,200+
