This book addresses the need for theological reflection on
"uncivil" disobedience. Existing scholarship in the area of
theology and politics mostly treats church-state relations
theoretically, with studies supporting non-violent resistance and
in other ways largely assuming traditional forms of governance and
standard means of protest, without paying attention to post-modern
political and other philosophies. Recent eruptions of uncivil
disobedience, oftentimes involving violence, like we have seen with
Antifa, Black Lives Matter protests, the storming of the U.S.
Capitol Building on January 6th, and in the actions of a variety of
other right wing, leftist, and religious groups, all assume new
ways of protesting, new forms of organizing, and are often informed
by post-modern forms of philosophical support. These new political
dynamics present an opportunity for theologians to produce
scholarship in response. After establishing philosophical
underpinnings related to uncivilly disobedient action, the
contributors cover traditional historical and theological responses
to political unrest as foundation for considering or evaluating
attempts to address theologically present-day manifestations of
uncivil disobedience.
