Anarchy and the Kingdom of God: From Eschatology to Orthodox Political Theology

Description: Anarchy and the Kingdom of God by Davor Džalto 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 Dzalto 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. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Davor Dalto is Professor of Religion and Democracy 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 the author and editor of numerous books, including The Human Work of Art, Religion and Realism, and Yugoslavia: Peace, War, and Dissolution (by Noam Chomsky).
