In this powerful and provocative work addressed to the predominantly white clergy of South Africa, Walter Wink. Professor at Auburn Theological Seminary, suggests that the injunctions of the "Sermon on the Mount-which seem to counsel passivity in the face of injustice-were actually deliberately mistranslated by Biblical scholars in the hire of King James. Drawing on original sources. Wink demonstrates that rather than counseling either violence or passivity. Jesus offered a systematic and strategic Third Way of nonviolent resistance which can be well utilized by today's political activist Having worked with clergy and laypeople in South Africa and noting historical experiences, Wink suggests ways in which Jesus Third Way could be implemented by those striving to transform the South African situation.
