Powell strengthens and amplifies the claim that God is disabled, made by Nancy Eiesland in her groundbreaking book \u003ci\u003eThe Disabled God\u003c\/i\u003e (1994). She offers an alternative understanding of the doctrine of God and the Trinity, resulting in a God who is not autonomous and utterly independent. According to this view, God’s triune identity is established in God’s decision for covenant, and thus creation is a requirement for the fulfillment of God’s nature. Not only is the Son always anticipating full embodiment and human nature, but more specifically is eternally anticipating an impaired body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePowell argues that God is not only interdependent within the immanent Trinity but also experiences real dependency, risk, and vulnerability from God’s “original” self-determination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePowell revisits Eiesland’s claim about Christ’s resurrected body and her conclusions about eschatological embodiment, arguing that it is the able-body that does not persist eschatologically. Instead, all humanity journeys toward ever more transparency, vulnerability, and interdependency as the Body of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471757754604,"sku":"9780567694331","price":40.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780567694331-the-disabled-god-revisited.jpg?v=1775252595","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-disabled-god-revisited-by-associate-professor-lisa-d-powell-9780567694331","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
