Product Description

Product Description
Old religious images, such as "Heaven" and "Hell" have lost their meaning as part of the popular imagination, but have not been replaced by others. This text seeks to reformulate ancient concepts, such as God, Satan, angels and demons, principalities and powers, in the light of modern experience. Based on an understanding of the Bible, the author of this study creates a new way of viewing the world, offering the reader a different language of talking about God. The book is an abridgement of the "Powers" trilogy by the same author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, majestic good sense, 11 Jan 2008
By Brian Griffith (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
Wink's argument is passionate, reasonable, and convincing. Non-violent resistance has always been the Christian response to injustice, and now that force of courageous compassion is re-shaping the world. Wink's accounts of the great democratic revolutions of the 1980s and 90s give inspiring tribute to a growing movement for partnership, which is sweeping away the old "powers that be". He shows how Jesus' dream for the world is practical, doable, and just good sense. "God's domination-free order", he feels confident, will prevail.
