Christianity and Resistance in the 20th Century. From Kaj Munk and Dietrich Bonhoeffer to Desmond Tutu

摘要

This book addresses the question of resistance, be it violent or non-violent, active or passive, as it manifests itself in the lives of a number of Christian figures during the twentieth century. Resistance is here understood as 'the opposition to something with which one disagrees, specifically 'the state' or 'the government'.rnIn an introductory chapter, S0ren Dosenrode traces the relationship between Christianity and resistance from the Early Church until today, showing that the question of resistance was already important to the early Christians.
