Overview

Christian anarchism has been around for at least as long as ""secular"" anarchism. Leo Tolstoy is its most famous proponent, but there are many others, such as Jacques Ellul, Vernard Eller, Dave Andrews or the people associated with the Catholic Worker movement. They offer a compelling critique of the state, the church and the economy based on the New Testament..

This book could easily be for Christian anarchism what Gustavo Guttierez's A Theology of Liberation was for that school of thought Pinch of Salt As a Christian, I found that the ideas were presented in an easily digestible form and it was easy to follow the lines of thinking that led these writers into their theories of Christian anarchism. Whilst I didn't find myself agreeing with many of the ideas, it's testament to the amount of research that has gone into the book that I could understand them well enough to disagree with them, as I had little knowledge of the subject before reading.

Bookbag A magnificent achievement Christoyannopoulos organises and expounds a vast mass of material with admirable lucidity. His work will surely prove indispensable. Church Times The analyses of the Sermom on the Mount and Letters of St. Paul are very informative, and the range of anarchist interpretations is presented with remarkable clarity... As a compendium of viewpoints within the general heading of Christian Anarchism , Christoyannopoulos's book is both useful and original. -- Tom Grimwood The European Legacy an excellent and original book which deserves a reading by anyone interested in anarchism, radical Christianity or the politics of non-violence . -- Paul Chambers Anarchist Studies Turning the other cheek , Christians and their government , Political life turning faith into a study . Our senior producer, Katy Scrogin, reviews Christian Anarchism: A Political Commentary on the Gospels, by Alexandre Christoyannopoulos. -- Katy Scrogin Things not Seen There is much of interest in this book, however, particularly for scholars interested in political theology. its concise description and synthesis make the themes and debates within Christian anarchist writings much more ac- cessible than they have been previously. -- Christopher Craig Brittain Modern Believing
