Should one suffer and obey the authority, or should one render resistance; and if so, should it be passive or active; and if active, should it be violent or not? This book will not provide the answer to this question, but it will describe and analyse important persons of the 20th century who were placed in a situation where they did not merely 'turn the other cheek', but felt that they had to resist a regime; a decision which had consequences for them all. Thus the book provides insight to a central and current question of Christian and indeed religious thinking.International studies in religion and society ;8.Government, Resistance toReligious aspectsChristianityNonviolenceReligious aspectsChristianityRevolutionsReligious aspectsChristianityChurch history20th centuryChristianity and politicsHistory20th centuryChurch and social problemsElectronic books.Government, Resistance toReligious aspectsChristianity.NonviolenceReligious aspectsChristianity.RevolutionsReligious aspectsChristianity.Church historyChristianity and politicsHistoryChurch and social problems.241/.621Dosenrode-Lynge Sören Zibrandt von922353MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455263903321Christianity and resistance in the 20th century2069648UNINA
