This collection of seventeen essays on themes ecclesiological and ecumenical is intended to demonstrate the substantial unity of Yoder's work over the past four decades. Many of these essays are often cited by researchers but have been, until now, nearly unobtainable. Three of these texts have never been published before. Editor Michael Cartwright has contributed a substantial introduction on the "Yoderian" project, and a select bibliography catalogs Yoder's writings - published and unpublished - on ecclesiology and ecumenism.

About the Author:
John Howard Yoder is professor of theology, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana.
Review:
Yoder articulates the Anabaptist position as a consistent alternative to other theologies. This volume looks at his vision of the faithful church under the Lordship of Jesus. The role of the church is not to serve itself but to be the bearer of reconciliation. The church stands as otherness. Yoder calls on Christians to be accountable and candid with themselves and the world about those times when Christian communities have been faithless. --The Challenge
