Dunamis (Energy / Inherent Power — The Creative Force at Work)
EN — Transliteration: dúnamis
Designates the power, capacity or inherent energy of a being or force. Miracle-centered theology translated it as 'miracle' or 'supernatural power' reserved for an elite of the chosen — a restrictive reading foreign to the medical, philosophical and natural use of the term.
Dunamis (δύναμις) is not a miracle reserved for an elite. It is inherent energy — the creative power at work in all things — available to every believer in the most ordinary daily life.
