A season of online conversations
We are living in a polycrisis that threatens to overwhelm us. We need profound change in our understanding and behaviour if future generations are to have a liveable future. The ancient Greeks’ had a word for this kind of change: Metanoia, a transformative change of heart or spiritual conversion.
Published in 2000, 200 pages. The book is available to buy new from £14.50 or second hand from £8.50.
Walter Wink’s books continue to be some of the most influential Christian writings on nonviolent resistance. Spirituality and Practice Review described his books as ‘trenchant theological works about evil, politics, and redemption in our world’. Wink suggests that a ‘Domination System’ holds us in thrall and that some of Jesus’ parables describe creative and even humorous ways to resist the ‘Powers’ without becoming corrupted by them. He shows how resistance can lead to transformation.
Wink was Professor of Biblical Interpretation in New York and a non-violent political activist. He is an inspiring figure in late 20th century progressive Christianity and has much to teach us today.
