Anarchism and religion have historically had an uneasy
relationship. Indeed, representatives of both sides have
regularly insisted on the fundamental incompatibility of
anarchist and religious ideas and practices. Yet, ever since the

a considerable number of religious anarchists have insisted that
their religious tradition necessarily implies an anarchist
political stance. Their stories are finally gaining increasing
public and scholarly attention.

In a world where political ideas increasingly matter once more,
and religion is an increasingly visible aspect of global
political life, these essays offer scholarly analysis of
