Excellent research!.

This first book in a 3 part series really defines power as it was understood in the days of Jesus. While it is a bit academic in its content this is a very important book because our currant world view is so much different.

Walter Wink simply tells it true. He addresses his material from the biblical world as it might have been understood in the original cultures, languages, and political situations of the day and then guides the progressive reader in reinterpreting ancient symbols and concepts in ways that reclaim them for us in the modern-post modern world.
