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 Dalto 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.
