This episode is the story of everything we've misunderstood about anarchy (and how it gels with Christianity) from the most delightful anarchist theologian.
Terry J. Stokes (he/they) is a director of a youth development nonprofit organization on Lenape land now known as Trenton, NJ. He is also an anarchist theologian who seeks to support folks’ political and spiritual radicalization through his writing and speaking. He holds degrees from Yale University and Princeton Theological Seminary, and is the author of the new book Jesus and the Abolitionists: How Anarchist Christianity Empowers the People.
In this episode, you'll hear Terry and I discuss:
- Anarchy as a philosophy of freedom and abundance, not destruction or nihilism
- Nonviolent communication, mutual aid, and interdependence
- Seeing scripture through the lens of anarchy—and vice versa
- How utopias may be more accessible than we thought
- What Leo Tolstoy and Jesus have in common
- and more!
Jesus and the Abolitionists is out TODAY and available wherever you buy books. You can follow Terry on socials @ theologywterry. Their podcast is "Abolishing the state in a cool Christian way." Follow their Substack, anarchistxtianity.
