Engaging The Powers

Discernment And Resistance In A World Of Domination

BY WALTER WINK
"For years now Wink has been relentlessly Naming, Unmasking, and now Engaging those artful spiritual dodgers, the principalities and powers. . . . One grows lighthearted amid the riches. His social and political analysis of the braggadacio, the sheer, horrid `normalizing' of domination and death in America in the '90s, is devastating. The exegesis of Revelation 13 is masterfully to the point of our social and political derangement. But there is more, and better: a solid hope of liberation. . . . Extraordinary work." - Daniel Berrigan.

Naming The Powers

The Language Of Power In The New Testament

BY WALTER WINK
For Wink `the Powers' are understood as social forces, religious, moral and political structures (the tyrant, the market, the school, the courts, race, and nation) They make themselves the hand servants of the worst of human emotions and motivations and facilitate actions leading to inequality, injustice and ecological destruction, making such actions appear `logical' and `inevitable,' causing good people to act accordingly, even as they may personally regret the results. This quartet of books names, unmasks and shows how one can engage with these powers producing a powerful new theology of nonviolence.

The Powers That Be

Theology For A New Millenium

BY WALTER WINK
In The Powers That Be renowned theologian and biblical scholar Walter Wink helps us reformulate our ancient religious concepts - such as God and Satan, angels and demons, principalities and powers - light of what we now know. Wink's theology is shaped as much by his experience in the civil rights movement and the fight against apartheid in South Africa, as by his study of the Bible. This is in large part a digest of his Powers trilogy, particularly the third volume-Engaging the Powers.
