Description: 'The Politics of Discipleship and Discipleship in Politics' is a work of dialog and cooperation at every level. At the core of this volume are lectures by Jürgen Moltmann, originally delivered at two Mennonite seminaries at the height of the Cold War. Theologians at those seminaries then responded to each of Moltmann's lectures, and those are included as well. Added to this collection are: a new essay by Moltmann on peacemaking and dragonslaying, a new foreword by Willard Swartley, and a new preface by Moltmann.
Notes: Part one includes lectures originally given by Jürgen Moltmann at the Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminaries in Elkhart, Ind. and Canadian Mennonite Bible College in Winnipeg, Man., both in the fall of 1982. These were published as Following Jesus Christ in the world today in 1983 as no.4 of the Occasional Papers of the Institute of Mennonite Studes. Part two includes responses to Moltmann's lectures by the faculties of both institutions published as Dialogue sequel to Jürgen Moltmann's Following Jesus Christ in the world today in 1984 as no. 8 of the Occasional Papers of the Institute of Mennonite Studies.
