"The Earth is the Lord's" in Global Anabaptism — John Roth — Ep. 194
Channel: Anabaptist Perspectives
Date: 24/08/2023

From the beginning, the phrase “The Earth Is the Lord’s” seized the imagination of Anabaptists. John Roth unpacks the powerful resonances of this phrase in the 16th century and calls us to see its contemporary significance for the global Anabaptist movement.

For the past 36 years, John D. Roth served as professor of history at Goshen College as well as director of the Mennonite Historical Library and editor of The Mennonite Quarterly Review. More recently, he was the founding director of the Institute for the Study of Global Anabaptism at Goshen College (2012) and secretary of the MWC Faith and Life Commission (2009). In 2022 he became the project director of "Anabaptism at 500," an initiative of MennoMedia. John has written widely on topics related to Anabaptist-Mennonite history and church life. He and his wife, Ruth, have four adult children and six grandchildren, and are active members at Berkey Avenue Mennonite Fellowship in Goshen, IN.

This is the 194th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.
