Kurzbeschreibung
Wink explores the problem of evil today and how it relates to the New Testament concept of Principalities and Powers. He asks the question "How can we oppose evil without creating new evils and being made evil ourselves?" Winner of the Pax Christi Award, the Academy of Parish Clergy Book of the Year, and the Midwest Book Achievement Award for Best Religious Book.

I consider this book one of the most stimulating and penetrating books on Christian theology I have read. Wink's trenchant analysis of the dynamic of how nations/cultures/societies organize themselves around self-perpetuating "domination systems" is both accurate and profound. Everyone of any religious or political stripe can be illuminated by this aspect of the book, although there are many other contributions on this theme from other quarters. In general, I am enthusiastic about this book because it is a much appreciated example of a new generation of Christian thinkers who are opening themselves to thinking outside the conventions of rigid conservatism yet mark a pathway for relevant & transforming spiritual vitality. Wink importantly also attempts to grapple with the Orthodox delineation of the biblical God as the source of sacred violence. A wrathful God who punishes and requires blood sacrifice even to the extent of requiring the sacrificial death of Jesus articulates a schizophrenic understanding of God that in the end is incongruous with absolute love. Wink along with other thinkers such as Rene Girard, Raymund Schwager, Robert G. Hammerton-Kelly are attempting to lead us to a more fully integrated concept of a loving God and that is to be congratulated.

With this book, Wink has entered the top three of all books I have ever read, in terms of overall influence to the way I live my life (with the other two consisting of Anthony DeMello's "Awareness" and Charles Tart's "Waking Up"). He has one absolutely amazing insight for those who pay attention. Unlike traditional teachings, which equate "demons" or "powers" with evil, Wink shows them to be fundamentally good, but 'fallen.' Thefore, these powers can and should be redeemed. This is a huge diversion from those who believe that all demons (which would equate to various items within the Jungian unconcious that manifest, etc) should be exterminated. Wink makes an outstanding presentation of how they cannot be exterminated, and how this is exactly the wrong approach. It is not a book which will give one a lot of comfort, though, so please do not read it as a feel good book. Realize Wink does heap burning coals upon your head, and cause you to have to examine a lot. The other option is to dismiss his position out of hand, which would be unfortunate.

I found this book to be a beautifully articulated work about a very important theme. It said things I and many people I know had observed and mused over, but I've never seen it stated so well or thought through with such precision. One gets the feeling that the author really has been somewhere and seen something beyond the normal realm of experience. I came across corroborating evidence independently... The Babylonian domination myth lies at the very root of the English language, so that when you learn English, you are indoctrinated into it subconsciously.
