Another review of my
Citizenship Without Illusions has been published in the March/April 2025 issue of the Canadian periodical
Faith Today. The author is
David Daniels, a retired Baptist minister. An excerpt:
Balancing political engagement with ultimate allegiance to God’s Kingdom
has always challenged Christians. Tackling that challenge, Koyzis draws
from the experiences of people and movements ranging from biblical
antiquity to the present. He addresses the legitimacy (or not) of civil
disobedience, providing guiding principles for those who choose to
resist governments. He warns readers of the ever-present danger of
falling prey to political illusions imbedded in an over reliance on
ideologies such as liberalism, socialism, conservatism and nationalism,
to name a few. He reminds Christians that allegiance to the Christian
gospel “may come to be regarded as an affront to the jealous gods of
expressive individualism” so evident in western democracies today.
