Résumé
Is the Bible a manifesto for a pacifist resistance movement? This volume argues that it is, based on a close reading conducted in conversation with the ideas of Michel Foucault, René Girard, and John Howard Yoder. Beginning with the Hebrew Scriptures, the author identifies a dialectical movement tracing a divine progression away from uses of coercive power to advance the kingdom of God. This dialectic is followed to its conclusion in the New Testament, where Christ's Gospel of nonresistance supplies the paradoxical basis for a highly effective resistance to the temporal regime.
How this ethic of resistance was successfully deployed by the early church is examined, as is the containment of that ethic beginning in the fourth century and continuing into our own day. Challenges to recovering the power-resistant potential of Christianity are also addressed. The result is a presentation of the Bible and Christian history that shatters the comfortable notions of both conservative Christians and anti-Christian progressives.
