Is power the essence of divinity, or are divine powers distinct from divine essence? Are they divine hypostases or are they divine attributes? Are powers such as omnipotence, omniscience, etc. modes of divine activity? How do they manifest? In which way can we apprehend them? Is there a multiplicity of gods whose powers fill the cosmos or is there only one God from whom all power(s) derive(s) and whose power(s) permeate(s) everything? These are questions that become central to philosophical and theological debates in Late Antiquity (roughly corresponding to the period 2nd to the 6th centuries). On the one hand, the Pagan Neoplatonic thinkers of this era postulate a complex hierarchy of gods, whose powers express the unlimited power of the ineffable One. On the other hand, Christians proclaim the existence of only one God, one divine power or one 'Lord of all powers'.

Au moment où Marcel Gauchet publie le troisième volume de sa somme sur "L'avènement de la démocratie", et poursuit sa réflexion sur cette doctrine et ce mode d'organisation politiques en termes de sortie de l'ordre religieux, il peut paraître provocateur de revisiter les conceptions bibliques du pouvoir et leurs sources. Cela se révèle toutefois instructif. De manière assez étonnante - et alors que la Bible a souvent été instrumentalisée au service du pouvoir et à la justification d'un ordre établi -, la question du pouvoir dans la Bible a été assez peu abordée pour elle-même par les exégètes. Pourtant rares sont les pages de l'Écriture qui ne mettent en scène l'une ou l'autre forme et manifestation, légitime ou illégitime, de pouvoir : pouvoir du Dieu créateur et rédempteur, pouvoir des rois qui dominent sur les nations et se font appeler par elles bienfaiteurs (Lc 22, 25) ; pouvoirs des prêtres et des élites intellectuelles sur le peuple ; pouvoir des riches sur les pauvres, des hommes sur les femmes, des aînés sur les cadets, des maîtres sur les esclaves, des forts sur les faibles ; contestation de tous ces pouvoirs par les prophètes, Jésus y compris, et parfois, renversement inattendu de ces rapports de domination (1 Co 1, 25-29) ; force de la Loi ; etc. L'ambition de ce livre est de proposer - en douze contributions - un parcours biblique (du Lévitique à l'Apocalypse) qui permette d'entrevoir quelles figures du pouvoir (humain et divin, civil et religieux, spirituel et temporel) l'Ancien et le Nouveau Testament mettent en scène et, surtout, quels discours ils tiennent sur la manière de l'exercer.

This book attempts to determine the degree to which the modern fate of the Western legal tradition depends on one of the most long-standing debates of the Middle Ages, the distinction between potentia Dei absoluta and ordinata (God's absolute and ordered power). The mediaeval investigation into God's attributes was originally concerned with the problem of divine almightiness but underwent a slow but steady displacement from the territory of theology to the freshly emerging proceedings of legal analysis. Here, based on the distinction, late-mediaeval lawyers worked out a new terminology to define the extent of the power-holder's authority. This effort would give rise, during the early modern era, to the gradual establishment of the legal-political framework represented by the concepts of the prince and sovereignty.
