Cracking the Gnostic code: the power in..

---

Walter Wink is the sort of writer who leaves me with the feeling of being better informed and better able to explore my own insights and principles, whether I happen to agree with him or not. His exploration of the subject of the Powers That Be is very well researched and thorough. This work is the application of insights from his Powers That Be trilogy, to Gnosticism.
As regards Christianity and Gnosticism, he argues as a non-Gnostic Christian, that a renewed dialog between Christianity and the ancient Gnostic texts can help highlight and re-inforce themes in the NT regarding the powers that be, allowing Christians to re-consider and more deeply understand the Christian challenge as against the domination system of this world. He argues for Christians learning from this part of Gnosticism without becoming Gnostic.
