"Ch. 2 is a devastating critique of Yoder. By arguing that states are fallen powers, such that they have 'power' but not 'authority', Yoder ironically undoes his commitment to 'body theology' and resistance to all forms of political 'inwardness' by insisting that the only proper Christian response to the defective state is submission." — Nov 20, 2012 08:03PM
