Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Perhaps the best book on Christian anarchism since Jacques Ellul . . . a timely and valuable addition to resurgent interest in political theology.”—Eric Gregory, Princeton University 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.

Book excerpt: A 'kingdom' is a group of people ruled by one person, the 'king', who makes all the laws himself without their votes or approval. The concept is anathema to contemporary democracy and its confidence in government by the people, the naive assumption that majorities will always get it right. History does not encourage optimism. There have been more bad kings than good, even in God's chosen people Israel. Behind our world's problems, which baffle our finest politicians and philosophers, lies a fundamental, racial and fatal error of having chosen the wrong king. Born into his kingdom, he has deceived us into thinking we can each of us be our own kingdom, inevitably clashing with each other, as individuals or nations. The only solution is to find the right king and become his loyal citizens. One day all other kingdoms will be shaken to pieces but this will remain, for ever. Only then will the conflict, in which every one of us is involved, be resolved.

Book excerpt: Before the fall of mankind, heaven and earth were under on kingdom: the kingdom of God. After the fall, we attempted to establish our own order, but this new world order operates under the subtle influence of Satan, the ancient enemy of God. He was expelled with his demons for trying to establish a Democracy in Heaven. After being limited to the earth, he usurped the dominion given to Adam and Eve, and now he seeks to be god of his world and usher in his anti-Christ government. To do this he will depend on our ignorance and our desire for control. Just as he once lured the angels into holding elections in heaven, Satan now lures us into thinking that we too can chose who should hold power. However, true power always rests with the Lord. Don't be deceived and enticed by the promises of democracy, for Satan is recruiting all of mankind to join him in a final war against God.
