PAUL AND POWER CHRISTOLOGY - ANTONY IFFEN UMORE...

In the prescript of his Letter to the Romans  Paul proclaims the resurrection of Jesus Christ
in power (Rom 1:3-4). The idea of power is dominant among present day Christians in Nigeria. It
is  however  often misunderstood in a magic sense and detached from the fundamental Christian
message. The book tries to investigate how Paul understands power in a Christian perspective
and how this relates to contemporary ideas about religious power in Nigeria  in particular in
Abuja  the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. The methods used are those of New Testament
Exegesis and of sociological field work. The final conclusion serves as a basis for proposals
with regards to an authentic power Christology among Christians in West Africa and beyond.
