Was the historical Jesus an anarchist?^159- Sébastien Faure, Les douze preuves de l’inexistence de Dieu,
(Paris: Librairie sociale, 1908). - See, for example, Paul Preston, The Spanish Holocaust:
Inquisition and Extermination in Twentieth-century Spain (London:
HarperPress, 2012), pp. 221–258 - Bakunin, God and the State, p. 28. For similar sentiments see
Emma Goldman, Anarchism and Other Essays (New York: Mother
Earth Publishing Association, 1911), p. 22. - Saul Newman, From Bakunin to Lacan: Anti-Authoritarianism
and the Dislocation of Power (Lanham: Lexington Books, 2001), p. 26. - Nicholas Walter, About Anarchism, 2nd edn (London: Freedom
Press, 2002), p. 43. - Bernard Schweizer, Hating God: The Untold Story of Misotheism
(Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2010), p. 34. - Peter Marshall, Demanding the Impossible: A History of
Anarchism (Oakland: PM Press, 2010), p. 75. - For examples see Religious Anarchism: New Perspectives, ed. by
Alexandre Christoyannopoulos (Newcastle: Cambridge Scholars,
- and Christoyannopoulos, Christian Anarchism.
- Such ideas “are described as anarchist only on the basis of a mis-
understanding of what anarchism is” (Jeremy Jennings, ‘Anarchism’,
in Contemporary Political Ideologies, ed. by Roger Eatwell and
Anthony Wright, 2nd edn [London: Continuum International
Publishing Group, 1999], p. 142). - Graham D. Macklin, ‘Co-opting the Counter Culture: Troy
Southgate and the National Revolutionary Faction’, Patterns of
Prejudice, 39 (2005), 301–326. - Both are mentioned a number of times in such standard histo-
ries as Marshall, Demanding; Robert Graham, Anarchism: From
Anarchy to Anarchism (300CE to 1939). Volume 1: A Documentary
History of Libertarian Ideas (Montreal: Black Rose Books, 2005);
and Woodcock, Anarchism. However, some surveys do pass over
Christian anarchism. It is absent from, for example, Michael Schmidt’s
Cartography of Revolutionary Anarchism (Oakland: AK Press, 2013).
