This Sunday we begin a new study course based on The Powers That Be and "The 'System' Belongs to God." The book is the condensation of Walter Wink's "Powers" trilogy and the video series records his discussions with James Forbes and Janet Wolf about the main themes, claims, and theses in Wink's work.
To put it in a nutshell, the main thesis is that violence is not an inherent part of our nature, nor of society's--that it's "added on" rather than "built in"--and that we can seek and find means to learn to live and coexist with others in nonviolent ways.
Looks like this will be an interesting course. If you live nearby, grab a copy of The Powers That Be and come join the discussion. --Or start one where you are.
