Omnipotence is dead.

At least it should be. It has no biblical support. And it dies a death of a thousand qualifications in philosophy.

Those harmed and hurting wonder why an omnipotent and loving God doesn't prevent pointless pain. The problem of evil buries omnipotence six feet under.

But the death of omnipotence is not the death of God.

In this ground-breaking book, best-selling and award-winning author Thomas Jay Oord explains why omnipotence should be rejected. But Oord offers a replacement: amipotence, the power of love.

If we think love shapes and guides God's power, we make better sense of life. We make better sense of the Bible. Amipotence explains why God doesn't prevent genuine evil and it overcomes other obstacles to belief. An amipotent Spirit empowers all that is loving, true, beautiful, and good.

No book makes a bolder but more needed argument for why God is not all-powerful. Those who care about God, love, scripture, and logic will find what they've long been looking for.

Endorsements:

"Omnipotence has long been considered a basic, non-negotiable, characteristic of God. But is it biblical? And does it push us toward theological landmines that blow up faith? In this book, Oord, with his typical gentle candor, lays out the complex issues in clear and readable chunks. In the end, Oord points to the beauty and comfort of a God who is uncontrolling love."

- Peter Enns, professor of biblical studies at Eastern University, author of Curveball
