praxis

a) They tell me that the university of chicago has t-shirts that say "that's all very well in practice, but how does it work in theory?" (Funny, and one of the reasons I don't go to U of C.)

b) So, Walter Wink, in The Powers that Be, describes how Jesus advises a subversive method that uses humor and cleverness to dismantle evil forces. It's pretty cool in theory (see his discussion of turn the other cheek, go the extra mile, etc.) So, does it work in practice?

Yes.
