God is not omnipotent nor impotent but amipotent.

At least that's what Thomas Jay Oord argues. In The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence and other books, Oord makes biblical, philosophical, theological, and experiential cases against omnipotence.

Oord does more than deconstruct omnipotence, however. He offers amipotence to replace it. This new word and idea points to the power of God's uncontrolling love.

Because an uncontrolling God loves everyone and everything, an amipotent God can't control anyone or anything. This is good news! And yet an amipotent God is stronger than any rival and the strongest plausibly conceivable power. That's good news too!

Amipotence fits scripture better than omnipotence, says Oord. And it avoids philosophical contradictions. Amipotence overcomes the problem of evil and answers questions left unanswered by other views of God's power.

But is amipotence true? Is it really better than other views? Does amipotence have support? And what are its implications?

This book combines a two-volume set of essays exploring amipotence.
