In this wide-ranging collection of essays Ronald E. Osborn explores the politically subversive and nonviolent anarchist dimensions of Christian discipleship in response to dilemmas of power, suffering, and war. Essays engage texts and thinkers from Homer's Iliad, the Hebrew Bible, and the New Testament to portraits of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Noam Chomsky, and Elie Wiesel. This book also analyzes the Allied bombing of civilians in World War II, the peculiar contribution of the Seventh-day Adventist apocalyptic imagination to Christian social ethics, and the role of deceptive language in the Vietnam War. From these and other diverse angles, Osborn builds the case for a more prophetic witness in the face of the violence of the "principalities and powers" in the modern world. This book will serve as an indispensible primer in the political theology of the Adventist tradition, as well as a significant contribution to radical Christian thought in biblical, historical, and literary perspectives.

Thank You, Anarchy is an up-close, inside account of Occupy Wall Street’s first year in New York City, written by one of the first reporters to cover the phenomenon. Nathan Schneider chronicles the origins and explosive development of the Occupy movement through the eyes of the organizers who tried to give shape to an uprising always just beyond their control. Capturing the voices, encounters, and beliefs that powered the movement, Schneider brings to life the General Assembly meetings, the chaotic marches, the split-second decisions, and the moments of doubt as Occupy swelled from a hashtag online into a global phenomenon. A compelling study of the spirit that drove this watershed movement, Thank You, Anarchy vividly documents how the Occupy experience opened new social and political possibilities and registered a chilling indictment of the status quo. It was the movement’s most radical impulses, this account shows, that shook millions out of a failed tedium and into imagining, and fighting for, a better kind of future.

What could ignite the fuse of the powder keg upon which the right, those who draped themselves in the flag, and left, those who claim the moral high ground by championing the cause of the underdogs, as they sit, staring at one another in a stand-off.Will one side push their agenda on the other so hard that the other pushes back even harder, with violence?Or, will a seminal event trigger the conflict? Turning Americans against Americans, not just in a war of words, but with the intent to annihilate those who disagree? And, what happens to those in the middle? Those who aren't passionate and don't want anything to do with the fight? Will they perish as innocent bystanders, or be forced to pick a side?The Second Civil War will not pit Americans against one another over territory. It will be a fight for the heart and soul of our nation in which everybody will lose.As Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying, if America is to be defeated, it will not come from an outside enemy, but rather, from within.

F.T.W dives deep into the bleak and post apocalyptic nation formerly known as the United States Of America. When the ideology of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was taken for granted, those same rights were infringed. In the near future, the republic has been torn apart into sovereign countries by politics, greed, power, and religious beliefs, and has become nothing more than a bedtime story to the children of the Prominent Municipality. The horrors that ensued from decades of raging wars between the upper and lower classes gave rise to a punk brigade known as The Anarchy March. They fight to overthrow their corrupt government's tyranny on humanity and save the world from the stagnant status quo.

On Anarchism provides the reasoning behind Noam Chomsky's fearless lifelong questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. In these essays, Chomsky redeems one of the most maligned ideologies, anarchism, and places it at the foundation of his political thinking. Chomsky's anarchism is distinctly optimistic and egalitarian. Moreover, it is a living, evolving tradition that is situated in a historical lineage; Chomsky's anarchism emphasizes the power of collective, rather than individualist, action. The collection includes a revealing new introduction by journalist Nathan Schneider, who documented the Occupy movement for Harper's and The Nation, and who places Chomsky's ideas in the contemporary political moment. On Anarchism will be essential reading for a new generation of activists who are at the forefront of a resurgence of interest in anarchism—and for anyone who struggles with what can be done to create a more just world.
