Description: Enigmas and Powers is a celebration and engagement of
the work of the noted author, biblical scholar, peace activist,
pastor, speaker, and workshop leader, Walter Wink. Among Wink's
numerous influential works are The Human Being: Jesus and the
Enigma of the Son of the Man, The Bible in Human Transformation,
Homosexuality and Christian Faith, Jesus and Nonviolence: A Third
Way, and The Powers trilogy (Naming the Powers, Unmasking the
Powers, and Engaging the Powers). This is the only volume devoted
to responses by Walter's colleagues and students to the entire
range of his work and its vast impact across disciplines, from
biblical studies to peace studies, from theology to psychology.
""You hold in your hands an unusual book. In it you will find
essays, letters, speeches, prayers, toasts, reminiscences,
arguments, footnotes, and open-ended conversation. You will find
addressed--and by addressed, I mean that the authors are variously
talking to these persons/entities--God; the Spirit; Psyche; Walter
Wink the person; Walter Wink the essay, book, theory, method,
and/or argument(s); and finally, and throughout, you, the reader.
Most of all, you will find, I hope, truth. Or, at least,
meaningful, productive, and enticing approaches toward truth
itself, and toward the world in light of truth."" --from the
