Post-apocalyptic Dissent (III): Resisting the Powers

Post-apocalyptic Dissent (III): Resisting the Powers

Curtis FREEMAN

This article provides a theological account for a Christian strategy of resisting the powers. In particular it examines the deficient strategies of engaging the powers by constantinianism, which seeks to convert the powers, and pietism, which surrenders to the powers. It offers a third option of resisting the powers and calls for Christians to embrace a vocation of dissent.
