Dr Aung Htoo's knowledge of Myanmar and the situation of the Christian community is impressive. The book offers a creative exploration of non-violence and its significance for the local Christian community. David Tombs, PhD Howard Paterson Chair of Theology and Public Issues, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand Creative. Original. Ground-breaking. Excellent. The book is bold in design and convincing in implementation. This book is a superb, critical, dialogue with three quite different thinkers/activists in order to develop a culturally appropriate theological ethics. The initial application is for Christians in Myanmar. But the basic methodology deserves widespread use. Highly recommended. Ronald J. Sider, PhD Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Theology, Holistic Ministry and Public Policy, Palmer Theological Seminary, St Davids, Pennsylvania, USA Issues of power, oppression, justice, and compassion are at the heart of this challenging and important work that brings together diverse voices from outside the modern West in dialogue with the ethical paradigm of Walter Wink and his Powers trilogy. This work brings into conversation political theology, practical theology, and moral theology and the result is a penetrating challenge to Christians in Myanmar, and the rest of us, to live with wisdom and courage in an increasingly post-secular society. Myk Habets, PhD Head of Theology, Laidlaw College, Auckland, New Zealand Senior Research Fellow, Australian College of Theology, Sydney
