La mirada de jesús sobre el poder

Abstract

The first approach is a theoretical frame: the relationship between historical power and the notion of authority. Then the consideration of Jesus' ministry in its jewish and imperial context. Jesus' undeniable moral authority is based on his unique religious experience. Marc's gospel shows the tension between Jesus' project and the disciples seeking power. Scripture presents a non-power God, who reveals himself in Jesus' cross. Jesus' authority is totally free of forceful power, it is the witnessing of the eschatological kingdom of God. The paper concludes with refl ections on how should the Church manage power and deal with historical powers.
