Radical Friendship

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Ryan Andrew Newson’s remarkable study of Anabaptist communal discernment masterfully slices through the Niebuhrian knots that tangle up many, if not most, theological ethicists. In doing so he accomplishes that rare thing: adding something genuinely and refreshingly new to tired old arguments over the relationship between Christianity and democracy. Deeply theological, radically democratic, and profoundly practical, this is a book for our time.”
