Timeline
Walter Wink (May 21, 1935 – May 10, 2012) was an American Biblical scholar, theologian, and activist who was an important figure in Progressive Christianity.
Wink spent much of his career teaching at Auburn Theological Seminary in New York City.
Wink earned a B.A. from Southern Methodist University in 1956, majoring in history, and minoring in philosophy and English.
He completed his Master of Divinity in 1959 and his Ph.D. in 1963, both from Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
Ordained as a Methodist minister in 1961, he served as Pastor of First United Methodist Church, in Hitchcock, Texas from 1962–67.
He then returned to Union Seminary as an Assistant Professor of New Testament, then Associate Professor of New Testament, from 1967–1976.
After being denied tenure at Union, he began teaching at Auburn Theological Seminary, remaining there until his death, when he was Professor Emeritus.
His faculty discipline was Biblical interpretation.
One of Wink's major avenues for teaching has been his leadership of workshops to church and other groups, based on his method of Bible study (The Bible in Human Transformation, 1973), and incorporating meditation, artwork, and movement.
These workshops were often presented jointly with his wife, June Keener-Wink, a dancer and potter.
One of Walter Wink's sons—Chris Wink—is known as a founding member of the Blue Man Group.
He was well known for his advocacy of and work related to nonviolent resistance and his seminal works on "The Powers", Naming the Powers (1984), Unmasking the Powers (1986), Engaging the Powers (1992), When the Powers Fall (1998), and The Powers that Be (1999), all of them commentaries on the Apostle Paul's ethic of spiritual warfare described here: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Breaking with Christian hermeneutic tradition of Christian demonology, he interprets Paul's hierarchy of "rulers" to refer to imperial powers, with corresponding and political theologies and ideologies of state violence.
Giving examples from ancient Babylon through the popular media of today, these are supported by, in a phrase he coined "the myth of redemptive violence".
In 1989–1990, he was a Peace Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace.
He was known for his work on power structures, his commentary on current political and cultural matters, and his contributions to the discourse on homosexuality and religion, pacifism, the relationship between psychology and biblical studies, and research related to the historical Jesus.
Neal Stephenson likens some of Wink's ideas to "an epidemiology of power disorders", a phenomenology of oppression.
