Christian Anarchy: Jesus' Primacy Over the Powers

by Vernard Eller · 1987

+ Want to read

"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.
