Naming The Powers

The Language Of Power In The New Testament

BY WALTER WINK

Brief Description:
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.
