History & Biography
“This detailed narrative fills a longstanding gap in Bruderhof historiography—the story of the Cotswold Bruderhof in England, particularly during the formative years as it took shape between the Nazi confiscation of the Rhoen community in 1937 and the Bruderhof’s transition to Paraguay in 1940 . . . As images of refugees, racial violence, and warfare once again dominate the news media, the Cotswold story is powerful and timely testimony to an alternative vision for humanity.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This volume, like the others in the series, provides a remarkable window into the creative cutting edge of Anabaptist-Mennonite thought of a previous generation that is enriched by the creative, cutting-edge reflections of a new generation of scholars. The essays are a supreme example of how traditions are sustained and renewed by the on-going conversation.”
Dirk Philips, A Sixteenth-Century Dutch Anabaptist
Theology
“Dirk Philips is an underappreciated theologian of the early Anabaptist movement, generally dismissed by mainstream theologians as a Donatist. Yet in this creative reappraisal of his work, Insung Jeon reclaims Philips as an orthodox Christian thinker whose views on Christology, soteriology, and the visible church have much to offer the contemporary church still today. An important contribution to Radical Reformation scholarship!”
The Fullness of Time in a Flat World
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This book will challenge you to see Christian worship and the global economy in a fundamentally new way . . . For all Christians who have felt overwhelmed by the tsunami forces of globalization or seduced by the mantra that "time is money," this book offers a word of hope . . . and a practical guide to more faithful forms of worship and discipleship.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
Foreword
“For anyone perplexed by the logic of Christian martyrdom or uncertain about its contemporary relevance, Tripp York’s The Purple Crown merits a careful reading.”
