Michael A. King’s study of a Mennonite denominational body’s deliberations over excommunicating a congregation for its stand on homosexuality will engage students and scholars of hermeneutics, rhetoric, communication, conflict, Gadamer, homosexuality, "culture wars"; church leaders and pastors; anyone interested in how true understanding unfolds—or not—amid conflict.

"What a joy that a theologically Reformed psychologist can profit from a Mennonite pastor who courageously engages a raw conflict with the playful hopefulness of a postmodern, Gadamerian hermeneutic. Gadamer would be thrilled."—Dan B. Allender, President, Mars Hill Graduate School
