Evaluation of Endgame from a Christian anarchist perspective

This is cool, way way cool, both in general, and for me personally.  This, if anything, is the lynchpin that will get my (intelligent, but deluded) parents out of denial.

Good to see Ellul being mentioned in there. He is one of the few authors I know of that really has what I would call an accurate grasp on the realities of the modern world and the history behind them.

I don't know how I feel about Jensen, I started reading one of his books once, but it was far too drawn-out for me to bother reading the whole thing.

It would have been nice if he could have made his points in fewer pages as most of the stuff he writes about I have already read about before but maybe for people starting out he is a good read...

I was interested, from what I see of Jesus Radicals there was presence of discussion within their Christianity of primitivism and rewilding before but a forum they had was closed and after that recently such discussion dwindled and seemingly is gone from any communication among them.

I agree. He's a brilliant man but I can't stand his writing style and the fact his books end up hundreds of pages long. We should start a section where folks post "The 5 Page Version of..." for his books. I have the same critique of Charles Eisenstein, another brilliant man whose work is really valuable but the guy can't discipline himself in his writing at all.
