Nancey Murphy -- Fuller Theological Seminary "For anyone unfamiliar with John Howard Yoder's writings, this is a superb introduction. For those who already know his work, it is exciting to read such a competent distillation of the major themes of his writings, enriched by sources not readily available. This is an invaluable contribution." Michael G. Cartwright -- University of Indianapolis "Mark Thiessen Nation has accomplished something quite significant in identifying and so carefully delineating the triune context of John Howard Yoder's ecumenical contributions -- always offered as an evangelical witness with catholic convictions and with Mennonite patience... From now on, this book will be the standard against which to measure any future explorations of Yoder's ecumenical vision for the faithful church." David Burrell, C.S.C. -- University of Notre Dame "John Howard Yoder's life of sustained retrieving of the witness of faithful and powerless followers of Jesus may well point all Christians, wherever they are, to a distinctively twenty-first-century church. A great job by Mark Thiessen Nation." Harry J. Huebner -- Canadian Mennonite University "If Yoder succeeded in bringing the discourse of peace theology into the theological mainstream, Nation, in this wonderful book, succeeds in teaching us how to read him. Drawing on his encyclopedic knowledge of Yoder's work -- published, unpublished, even personal papers -- Nation presents an amazingly lucid and ever fresh exposure of Yoder's ideas. A gripping appraisal of a theology that is at once profound and simply Christian!"
