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.

Re-reading… …how on earth did I only give this 4 stars? Maybe because *The Powers That Be* was still fresh in my mind, and this volume is a deeper dive (TPTB is more accessible, lighter read than the 3 volume Powers trilogy, that Wink recommends be read in *reverse* order). As the coverage gets more technical and theological, the earlier the volume (the 1st two are titled *Naming the Powers* and *Unmasking the Powers*).

The first two books in Wink's trilogy are mere setting the ground for this one. This is the best as Wink goes into practical application. In the face of redemptive violence, the way the world works, Christians respond with nonviolent resistance. A great book that does not just defend nonviolence but does so in light of the powers and principalities that run the world.
