Christian Anarchism: A Political Commentary on the GospelAlexandre Christoyannopoulos, editor of Religious Anarchism: New Perspectives, has added a new book to the growing literature on Christianity and anarchism. Published with Imprint Academic, Christian Anarchism: A Political Commentary on the Gospel looks at the work of people like Jacques Ellul, Vernard Eller, Dave Andrews and the Catholic Worker movement and attempts to provide a comprehensive view on how the gospels shaped their anarchist critiques. According to the description:

Christian anarchism has been around for at least as long as “secular” anarchism. . .Yet despite the relevance and growth of this literature, no generic study bringing together these different thinkers or reflecting on their contribution has been published to date, because such work involves meticulous searching, compiling and structuring of countless different texts and sources, not all of which are easily accessed. This book, however, provides precisely such a study, and thereby presents Christian anarchism to both the wider public and the wider academic community.

Printed in the U.K the book is also available in the U.S.
