Description
Jacques Ellul explores the complex relationship between political anarchy and biblical faith in this thought-provoking analysis. He examines how anarchists' criticisms of Christianity often apply only to its developed form, rather than the underlying biblical principles, and vice versa - that Christians should consider the biblical texts as a source of nonviolent resistance. Ellul defines his concept of anarchy as the nonviolent repudiation of authority, and delves into the Bible's teachings on power and authority, tracing this idea through Old Testament history, Jesus' ministry, and the early church's understanding of leadership.
