Publisher's Description
In this brilliant culmination of his seminal Powers Trilogy, now reissued in a twenty-fifth anniversary edition, Walter 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.

“In this magnificent finale to the trilogy, Walter Wink engages the Powers with brilliant exegesis and a profoundly creative nonviolence, revealing the way to the Powers' and our own transformations. Wink on the Powers is a classic resource for activist and scholar alike.”
““This book provides an intellectual, historical, and scriptural basis for the truth of Christian nonviolence. It will be an inspiration to many people and particularly helpful to those who have come into nonviolence intuitively or through a painful experience.” Mairead (Corrigan) Maguire Nobel Peace Laureate Northern Ireland”
