Hey Bolty, I too have struggled with how to understand the whole P & P thing, particularly John Howard Yoder’s take.
You say that the P & Ps involve real flesh-and-blood people using good things for ill. How does that square with:
Can I suggest reference to three books by Walter Wink (a Jesus Seminar contributor):
<ol>
Engaging the Powers: Discernment and Resistance in a World of Domination, 1992
Unmasking the Powers: The Invisible Forces That Determine Human Existence, 1986
Naming the Powers: The Language of Power in the New Testament, 1984
These tomes are substantial, and I have only read summaries, but I understand they critique many of the governmental, business and ngo agencies that drive the material benefit of the few at the cost of many.
