Walter Wink Article on Jesus’ Third Way

Posted on February 20, 2011 by

The Gospel text for today is Matthew 5:38-48, Jesus’ teaching from the Sermon on the Mount about turning the other cheek and other ways of relating to one’s enemies with love.  I referenced and footnoted several resources in my sermon that have been of great help to me in understanding these verses.  There is no way to cover everything about this topic in one much less two sermons, so I hope anyone interested in digging deeper into this “Third Way” will follow the references and learn more.

Also, there is a also a good article from Wink here, which serves as a short but helpful summary of what he writes in his books.
