It is the first to build from the rich collections of the Mennonite library and archives at Bluffton and for this reason offers noteworthy insight into twentieth-century Mennonite historical literature. Editors Ted Grimsrud and Loren L. Johns have woven together these many diverse and challenging, critical and affirming, essays interacting with the thought of Millard Lind , noted Anabaptist Bible scholar. Writers include Arthur Boers, James E. Brenneman, Ted Grimsrud, Daniel Liechty, Douglas B. Miller, Tom Yoder Neufeld, J. Denny Weaver, Sara Lind, Loren L. Johns, Daniel Smith-Christopher, and Ray Gingerich. Linds deserves the honor of this book, in which some of his former students at the Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary focus on the political character of the Bible and its witness. No other scholar has so compellingly as Lind stressed the peculiar politics of the biblical texts and, hence, of the church.
Orders are welcome.
Written by sociologist Calvin W. Redekop , Leaving Anabaptism has been published by Pandora Press U.S. with joint Herald Press imprint. Those who care and nurture cannot finally be separated from those who teach, preach, and lead. Stoltzfus writes movingly about creative, frugal, talented, wise women. I recognized in these stories my own mentors and sisters. Give this book to some young woman with stars in her eyes.
