Critic Reviews

“"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.”

"Christian Anarchism will be of interest to Christians, theologians, anarchists and historians of political thought... On its own terms it achieves its aim of synthesising a range of Christian anarchist writings and demonstrating that Christian anarchism is a coherent school of thought." -- Daniel Duggan Political Studies Review "Dr Christoyannopoulos has produced a superb discussion of Christian anarchism from Tolstoy to the present day. He combines a wide scope and meticulous scholarship with impressive analytical ability. He also writes clearly and well - not always the case in this area. This book is required reading for those interested in alternative conceptions of politics." -- Professor David McLellan "Alexandre Christoyannopoulos's engaging and intelligent study of Christian anarchism directly confronts the perception that these two traditions of thought are incompatible. At the heart of this scholarly discussion is the work of Tolstoy but the analysis is enriched by an examination of a much wider range of writers and movements. Anyone interested in the vital issues of non-violence, the limits of political obligation, resistance, compassion and justice will find this book enormously illuminating." -- Dr Ruth Kinna "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 Sermon 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 "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 accessible than they have been previously." -- Christopher Craig Brittain Modern Believing
