In a world where many believers have lost a sense of their true home in God's alternative society, Revolutionary Christian Citizenship addresses the difficulties of being both a follower of Jesus and a citizen of a political nation. Down-to-earth and original, theologian John Howard Yoder challenges traditional understanding of politics and reconsiders Christian citizenship in three parts: the witness of Jesus, the witness of the church, and witness in action. More accessible and practical than most of Yoder's works, Revolutionary Christian Citizenship bridges the gap between faith and politics, equipping us to faithfully represent Christ in society and wage peace in a world of war.

About the Author:

John Howard Yoder (1927-97) taught ethics and theology as a professor at Notre Dame University and Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary and was perhaps the most well-known Mennonite theologian in the twentieth century. Widely sought around the world as a theological educator, ethicist, and interpreter of biblical pacifism, he is best known for his study on The Politics of Jesus. Yoder is also remembered for his long-term sexual harassment and abuse of women. Click here for more on Herald Press and John Howard Yoder.

Review:

"Finally! Yoder's keen thinking is made accessible to the average reader. Christians sorely need to hear Yoder's call to keep the gospel central as we navigate the challenge of citizenship in the current empire."

--Rachelle Lyndaker Schlabach "Reviews "

"His essay on paying taxes is worth the price of the book."

--Stanley Hauerwas "Reviews "

"Yoder in his own words, speaking to the church, cuts repeatedly to the heart of essential questions regarding Christian discipleship."

--Lee C. Camp "Reviews "
