Christianity and its Civil Disobedience Philosophy
El cristianismo y su filosofía de la desobediencia civil
Abstract
The civil disobedience philosophy, or, as put in this work, the non-violence philosophy, is constructed through four indispensable ideas: the existence of the oppressor; existence of the oppressed; non-violent methods; and, the idea of justice. These ideas are contextualized within a biblical review of nonviolence, trying to build a theological foundation on which this philosophy is based. The biblical revision will be developed analyzing the dialogues in the book of Romans, the book of Daniel, and the trial of Jesus, through the use of hermeutics and analytic methods, a coherent interpretive structure of the space of civil disobedience can be generated.
