Default Re: Hiding religion in the church

Thanks Aron, good stuff! I will check out Walter Wink. The reviews on Amazon paint a very promising picture of his theology - unorthodox but highly aware.

I like a quote from Amazon reviewer: "[Wink] brilliantly analyzes Jesus's sayings "Turn the other cheek,"... not as passivity, but actions taken to bewilder and expose the dominators for what they are, and to undermine the Domination System."

Look forward to reading those, could be a new favourite WW

Cheers!

Bro James, just watch yourself. Getting into the world of spirits, ghosts, demons, and gods, require extensive use of the imagination. And very quickly your imagination can get filled with scary monsters ; like the ones under a child's bed.
