Book Synopsis
How is the Christian supposed to act when his or her government misbehaves? Should one suffer and obey the authority, or should one render resistance; and if so, should it be passive or active; and if active, should it be violent or not? This book will not provide the answer to this question, but it will describe and analyse important persons of the 20th century who were placed in a situation where they did not merely 'turn the other cheek', but felt that they had to resist a regime; a decision which had consequences for them all. Thus the book provides insight to a central and current question of Christian and indeed religious thinking.

Trade Review
"The essays are well researched. [...] [T]he book is a fascinating and profoundly moving resource that certainly deserves wide use." Douglas S Bax, Cape Town, South Africa, retired Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Southern Africa. International Journal for Religious Freedom, 4:1 (2011).
