Jesus and Nonviolence

by Walter Wink

Published 1 April 2003

More than ever, Walter Wink believes, the Christian tradition of nonviolence is needed as an alternative to the dominant and death-dealing "powers" of our consumerist culture and fractured world. In this small book Wink offers a precis of his whole thinking about this issue, including the relation of Jesus and his message to politics and nonviolence, the history of nonviolent efforts, and how nonviolence can win the day when others don't hesitate to resort to violence or terror to achieve their aims.

Bible in Human Transformation

by Walter Wink

Published 1 August 1973

Wink asserts that despite the contributions of thehistorical-critical method, we have reached the point where this method is incapable of allowing Scripture to evoke personal and social transformation today.
