Book Description
“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 Description
The highest and more important government is self-governance. What is this "powerful government"? It is the Kingdom of God, the Creator-King from heaven to earth. This powerful idea about the Kingdom of God is the ideology that served as the foundation of the first and original government instituted on Earth. It is the divine aspiration, divine motive, celestial vision, and eternal purpose of the Creator for His creation and humanity on planet Earth. This Kingdom is more bigger, powerful, and only perfect government on planet earth today. It is more powerful than America, plus all G-8 nations with all of their military armies put together.This idea is the concept of the ultimate governing program for mankind on Earth that provides for all the fundamental needs of humanity and produces a culture that integrates all of mankind's noble aspirations, such as equality, justice, peace, love, unity, and respect for human dignity, the value of human beings, and personal and corporate empowerment. It is an idea that is superior to and contains all the noble aspirations of democracy, socialism, communism, imperialism, dictatorships, and all religions. It is my hope that this book will unveil the beauty of this great idea that can bring the solutions to all of our earthly problems-such as war, terrorism, crime, AIDS epidemics, stigmatization, superstition, child abuse, environmental destruction, culture clashes, poverty, oppression, ethnic cleansing, economic crisis, family disintegration, political and religious corruption, community violence, and the culture of fear.
