In addition to the senses in which God’s sovereignty is “powerful” intrinsically in God’s glory and in creative blessing, it is “powerful” in two other senses in the registers of eschatological blessing and reconciliation of the estranged.Those two senses cannot be conflated because, while they are rooted in canonical narratives of God relating by way of Incarnation, they have irreducibly different narrative logics. The differences between these senses of “power” is brought out by analysis of implications of the different taxis in which the “Persons” of the Trinity are engaged in each strand of the economy. Each expresses different qualities of the ‘power’ of God’s intrinsic sovereignty. Each brings with it a different vocabulary in which to characterize God’s power. So appropriate accounts of God’s power must stammer, shifting unsystematically among those vocabularies.
