Preview Power and Practices: Engaging the Work of John Howard Yoder

Description:
In this collection of essays, a new generation engages the theology of John Howard Yoder. In conversation with Yoder, these essays wrestle with questions of power and its implications for social practices including policing, nonviolence, sexism, governmentality, dialogue, political critique, theological construction, and the work of inheriting a theological tradition. Other essays develop biblical or theological frameworks for appropriating Yoder s insights on power and practices. The authors and their approaches to Yoder s work are diverse. They bring a wide array of backgrounds to the task, from activism and church leadership to advanced studies and the professorate. What each has in common is an instinct to place Yoder s work into new conversations and to examine it through new lenses. Authors include Chris K. Huebner, Nekeisha Alexis-Baker, Paul Martens, John C. Nugent, and Paul C. Heidebrecht.
