About this title: Final volume in Wink's Powers trilogy. Expanding upon his hypothesis that the "principalities and powers" of the New Testament are the social systems that sustain life and maintain order, Wink says that subversion of the powers resulted in the Domination System--male supremacy, economic oppression, class distinction, and racism--which Jesus ...

"I haven't had a five star book in awhile, but this book definitely qualifies as such. Walter Wink writes about the domination system of the world and the spiritual interiority of institutions. Though Wink may fall on the more liberal end of scriptural analysis, his ideas concerning the spiritual core of institutions and the role they play in society, the significance of Christ's death and the power of nonviolent action provide a much more comprehensive understanding of the world."
"This book greatly influenced my theology. The concept of structural evil is something that I find very relevant when observing how society functions. Wink does some great reinterpretations of Gospel stories which have become classics in progressive religious circles."
"Walter Wink's work never ceases to astound and amaze. This book challenged my perceptions of reality in some uncomfortable ways, and yet even weeks after finishing it I find the concepts emerging again and again as I view the world around me with a slightly different lens."
"One of my all-time favorite books. Although it is the third in a series, it isn't necessary to read the first two to understand this one. Wink is the first person to describe the death of Christ in a way that has any meaning for me. More than that, he presents a Christian vision and a Christian life that is not only powerful but, put into practice, necessary and useful and meaningful for those who live it and for the rest of the world. This is a Christianity that takes us out of our churches and into the world in the way we are meant to be--whether we are religious or not."
