Walter Wink reformulates ancient concepts, such as ong>Godong> and ong>theong> devil, heaven and hell, angels and demons, principalities and powers, in light ong>ofong> our modern experience. He helps us see heaven and hell, sin and salvation, and ong>theong> powers that shape our lives as tangible parts ong>ofong> our day-to-day experience, raong>theong>r than as mysterious phantoms. Based on his reading ong>ofong> ong>theong> Bible and analysis ong>ofong> ong>theong> world around him, Wink creates a whole new language for talking about and to ong>Godong>. Equipped with this fresh world view, we can embark on a new relationship with ong>Godong> and our world into ong>theong> next millennium.
