Christianity Today, Top 10 Books of the 20th Century (2000) Stanley
Hauwerwas in Christian Century
"I am convinced that when Christians look back on this century of
theology in America, The Politics of Jesus will be seen as a new
beginning." Dennis P. McCann
"When it was first published, The Politics of Jesus effected a coup
de grace against neo-orthodox biblical theologies that had managed
to depoliticize the ethical significance of Jesus' message. This
second edition is no less provocative in contesting the
reevaluations of New Testament ethics emerging from recent
scholarship on the historical Jesus. Yoder presses beyond the
question of whether Jesus was political to ask what sort of
politics is the mark of Christian discipleship." Max L.
Stackhouse
"Although most Catholics, Calvinists, and Christian realists will
remain skeptical of Yoder's view of Jesus and of politics, we are
always challenged by him. This new edition includes acute responses
to many critics. It will keep the discussion vibrant as Christians
today decide how to engage our emerging cosmopolitan, global
civilization."
