A far-ranging study of the Christian relationship to the state and all wordly powers, this book is as provocative as its unusual title. Christian Anarchy says Vernard Eller, is the faith in God's primacy as sovereign Lord and orderer of history which is given such weight that all the big claims of self-confident human scheming and power-play become sheer distraction.
