The Powers That Be: A New Language for Talking About God in Our World. In our fast-paced secular world, the divine realm has been set aside in favour of more immediate human experience. This shift has led to a loss of spiritual and theological bearings, making it difficult to understand or speak about such things. Walter Wink reformulates ancient concepts, such as God and the devil, heaven and hell, angels and demons, principalities and powers, in light of our modern experience. He helps us see these concepts as tangible parts of our day-to-day experience, rather than as mysterious phantoms. With this fresh world view, we can embark on a new relationship with God and our world into the next millennium. By reclaiming the divine realm as central to human existence, Wink offers a new way of understanding our world in theological terms. This book provides a language for talking about and to God, equipping us with a new perspective on heaven, hell, sin, salvation, and the powers that shape our lives.
