Abstract
This chapter will discuss the theological debate about specific forms of civil disobedience. Forms of civil disobedience are as contentious as the concept of civil disobedience itself. Thus, the debate in this chapter covers the pros and cons of each of these facets of civil disobedience. The view which permits and prohibits a certain form may not necessarily coincide with the view that permits and prohibits civil disobedience. Among those who permit civil disobedience, there may be disagreements on certain forms of it and this will be indicated accordingly, where possible. Forms of civil disobedience that will be covered in this chapter are; public demonstration; labour strike; hunger strike; and boycott.
