Description: Anarchy and the Kingdom of God reclaims the concept of “anarchism” both as a political philosophy and a way of thinking of the sociopolitical sphere from a theological perspective. Through a genuinely theological approach to the issues of power, coercion, and oppression, Davor Džalto advances human freedom—one of the most prominent forces in human history—as a foundational theological principle in Christianity. That principle enables a fresh reexamination of the problems of democracy and justice in the age of global (neoliberal) capitalism.
Authors & Distributors: Davor Džalto is Professor in the Department of Eastern Christian Studies at Stockholm School of Theology and President of The Institute for the Study of Culture and Christianity. He is most recently the author of In Medias Res and Religion and Realism and editor of Yugoslavia: Peace, War, and Dissolution by Noam Chomsky.
Reviews: Perhaps the best book on Christian anarchism since Jacques Ellul, Anarchy and the Kingdom of God is a timely and valuable addition to resurgent interest in political theology across various disciplines. Learned and well-written, it brings neglected sources from the Orthodox Christian tradition into this current renaissance and makes clear their relevance for contemporary economic and political debates in contexts ranging from the United States to postcommunist Europe and Russia. - Eric Gregory, Princeton University
