Editorial : About the Author Walter Wink is Professor of Biblical Interpretation Emeritus at Auburn Theological Seminary in New York City. Previously, he was a parish minister and taught at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. In 1989 to 1990 he was a Peace Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace.

More than thirty years later, Wink now looks back in a new preface over the more and less humanizing developments in New Testament studies of the last few decades and renews his call for a transforming approach to biblical interpretation.

My daughter is only one year old, and she is captivated by this book that I am sure will stay a favorite as she grows older and grasps even more of the meaning. I want to meditate but I just can't slow my thoughts down long enough to feel the time has been well spent. The author does a disservice to any message about oil and gas depletion he is trying to convey. If you open this paperback book to the mid
