"Throughout the gospels Jesus provokes confusion [even] among his disciples. . . . [He] assumes unheard-of authority. And yet he decouples this authority from the power to judge, compel or fight—the power that makes political order possible. The kingdom of God is a manifestation of power (Mark 9:1), yet it cannot be realized by the normal mechanisms of human power (legislation, punishment, war)."
