Marva Dawn
Calvin Symposium on Worship 2009
Church leaders and other saints in our congregations frequently find themselves struggling with money, technology, politics, the institutional church, etc.—what the Bible calls "principalities and powers." This workshop will helped us understand them better and then focused on what preachers can do to equip congregants to expose, disarm, and stand against the powers.

Powers, Weakness, and the Tabernacling of God
by Marva Dawn (Eerdmans, 2001)
Marva Dawn offers groundbreaking scholarship—from the first significant critique of Walter Wink's work on "the powers" to a relevant new translation of 2 Corinthians 12:9—and challenges readers to rethink the goals and mission of the congregation, to develop practices that follow God's "hidden" way of weakness, and to expand their sense of what it means to be a faithful church.
