Okay, hey, friends. My guest today is Dr. Alexander Cristóian Nopoulos.

Hope we got that right. Dr. Cristóian Nopoulos is a senior lecturer in politics and international

Alex, Alex. Okay, Alex. Well, thank you so much for being on the podcast. Yeah,

mutual friend of ours, Brian Brock, turn me on to your work. So I'm holding it if you're watching

the video, your book Christian Anarchism, a political commentary on the gospel. Hold it up there.

And I haven't finished it yet. I've been reading it periodically. And it's just such a great work.

So thank you for that. Why don't we start with what is Christian Anarchism? Because I can imagine
