The Myth Of Redemptive Violence
Leave a comment »
I came across an essay by Walter Wink about the Myth Of Redemptive Violence.
Tremendous piece of analysis that explains so much of the problem of the politics of our era. Understanding the rationale for the 'why' in our society should help us understand the 'how' to change it – a huge undertaking in and of itself.
“This Myth of Redemptive Violence is the real myth of the modern world.
It, and not Judaism or Christianity or Islam, is the dominant religion
in our society today.”
