The question of power is the key to the New Testament, indeed to the entire Bible. In his engagement with the often dismissed biblical discourse on powers and authorities, Walter Wink presents a new approach to the core of the Christian message. For Wink, Jesus' teaching on nonviolence is the crucial path to exposing and transforming the prevailing forces of evil beyond pacifism and just war, thereby breaking the cycle of violence. This opens up a new access to the biblical-Christian message, a new Christian practice, and at the same time, a new Christian spirituality. A fascinating book!.
