"Who says that biblical theology is dull? Wink knows the sidtinction between what is meant in the New Testament and what is meant for today. but he algo recognizes that sometimes risks must be taken if one is to bring the horizons into touch... These and other matters he explores are crucial issues for reasons of theology, pastoral care, social justice, and nothing less than the salvation of the world. One is grateful for the erudition, the spiritual depth and imagination, and the controlled passion which Wink has brought to them." Fredrick Hour Borsch
"There is a widespread hunger for spirituality. Unmasking the Powers suggests foundations for a biblically rooted spirituality which would empower witness in the modern world of ecological disaster and nuclear threat. Wink moves gracefully back and forth between forgotten concepts and contemporary witness, steering a course between obscurantist pietism and unreflective activism in his quest to recover the wisdom of the past. His challenge to Christians to deal with a psot-materialist world must not be overlooked. His interpretation of Scripture alone is worth the price of the book. The implications he draws for Christian living are challenging. Walter Wink has given us much to ponder on and to live up to." William E. Chapman.
"In his remarkable trilogy on the principalities and powers, Walter Wink has biblically verified what more and more of us have come to realize intuitively: namely, taht underneath and within the social, economic, and political crisis we face, there are profoundly spiritual realities which must be confronted... Wink presents us with the sobering and illuminating truth that movements for social change will simply never succeed unless they come to terms with the existence and pervasive presence of the structural and spiritual forces the Bible refers to as principalities and powers. And there is no better treatment of the biblical and contemporary meaning of the powers than Walter Wink´s." Jim Wallis
