Description: "This definitive biography of Mennonite historian and ethicist Guy F. Hershberger is the latest volume in the well-received Studies in Anabaptist and Mennonite History Series. Series editor Steven M. Nolt notes in his foreword: "Hershberger sought to show how Christians might live their part in a world beset by war and injustice. Moreover, he insisted that that part flow from a consistent ethic, unchanged but progressively revealed by God as the story unfolded. . . . He nurtured community life in a modern context and pioneered creative engagement with pressing concerns of labor relations, economic justice, and capital punishment. And he made space on the stage for Mennonites of color to play leading parts. Along the way he engaged critics and recruited new talent." -- Publisher's description.
