A Mind Patient and UntamedAssessing John Howard Yoder's Contributions to Theology, Ethics, and Peacemaking edited by Ben C. Ollenburger and Gayle Gerber Koontz |
|
This book assesses the work of John Howard Yoder, author of The Politics of Jesus and the many other noted writings within which he engaged in principled, patient, nonfoundationalist, and unsystematic conversation with the Bible, with his Anabaptist tradition, and with such thinkers as Niebuhrs and Hauerwas. The book also places Yoder in new discussions, such as with Derrida and Said—and extends the conversation to the 16 insightful Yoder scholars writing in this volume. They include Stanley Hauerwas, Harry Huebner, Gerald Biesecker-Mast, Chris K. Huebner, Peter C. Blum, Thomas Heilke, J. Alexander Sider, Duane K. Friesen, Bethel College, Alain Epp Weaver, Paul Doerksen, Craig R. Hovey, Gerald W. Schlabach, A. James Reimer, Douglas Harink, Willard M. Swartley, Rachel Reesor, and Thomas Finger.
