The Powers That Be: Theology for a New Millennium

This book examines the concept of 'the powers that be' from a theological perspective, considering how traditional Christian teachings on authority, evil, and redemption apply to the challenges of a new millennium. It likely engages with contemporary social and political structures, arguing for a theology that addresses systemic issues while remaining grounded in biblical principles. The work may draw on thinkers such as Walter Wink or other theologians who have written about spiritual warfare and the principalities and powers, aiming to provide a relevant and transformative vision for believers navigating a complex, globalized society. more

“Mysticism has often been misunderstood as the attempt to escape this simple, phenomenal world to a more pure existence in heaven beyond. This is not mysticism, but Gnosticism. Biblical mysticism is the attempt to exit 'this world' to an alternative reality that pervades the old order. Its goal is to jettison the mind-set that says 'greed is good,' selfishness is normal,' and 'killing is necessary.' Mysticism in biblical terms is not escapism, as so many have caricatured it, but a fight for ethics and social change.”
