Walter Wink Quotes
The Myth Of Redemptive Violence Is, In Short, Nationalism Become Absolute. This Myth Speaks For God; It Does Not Listen For God To Speak. It Invokes The Sovereignty Of God As Its Own; It Does Not Entertain The Prophetic Possibility Of Radical Judgment By God. It Misappropriates The Language, Symbols, And Scriptures Of Christianity. It Does Not Seek God In Order To Change; It Embraces God In Order To Prevent Change. Its God Is Not The Impartial Ruler Of All Nations But A Tribal God Worshiped As An Idol. Its Metaphor Is Not The Journey But The Fortress. Its Symbol Is Not The Cross But The Crosshairs Of A Gun. Its Offer Is Not Forgiveness But Victory. Its Good News Is Not The Unconditional Love Of Enemies But Their Final Elimination. Its Salvation Is Not A New Heart But A Successful Foreign Policy. Its Usurps The Revelation Of God's Purposes For Humanity In Jesus. It Is Blasphemous. It Is Idolatrous.
