Anabaptist Visions for the New Millennium: A Search for Identity Schrag, Dale and Juhnke, James C.

CA$25.75

Anabaptist Visions contains papers presented at a symposium of the same title held at Bethel College, North Newton, Kansas in June 2000. It includes 28 papers, all but two brief enough to read in a few minutes, from contributors both academic and churchly.... The papers are grouped into the categories of Identity, Theology, Engaging the World, New Voices, Worship, Mission and Evangelism, and a Summary....While the introduction suggests that the manifestos were to reflect on assigned topics...one notices overlapping interests across the range of presentations, as well as places where individual visions clash with each other....this collection has an immediacy that, while representing a great deal of serious reflection, characterizes an interactive conversation rather than a scholarly document. Anabaptist Visions should without question be read and discussed well beyond the world of the academy. Fifty years from now when scholars are seeking to understand directions taken by Mennonite people in the United States at the turn of the century, they will need to include this book in their research. ----The Mennonite Quarterly Review reviewed by Nancy R. Heisey A symposium held at Bethel College, June 15-18, 2000. All twenty-eight presentations are published in this collection.

Anabaptism: Neither Catholic Nor Protestant by Walter Klaassen

CA$18.50

Walter Klaassen shows how Anabaptists combined elements of Protestantism and Catholicism into a third option which, he argues, has continuing relevance for the present. This is especially true in the areas of lay witness, peace and war, economics, and relationships with the state. Klaassen's hope that increasing numbers of Protestants and Catholics would enter into dialogue with the Anabaptist tradition has in fact been realized. Today, Anabaptism is accepted as part of the common heritage of all Christians.

Biblical Concordance of the Swiss Brethren, 1540 by Snyder, Arnold C.; Fast, Gilbert and Peters, Galen

CA$26.95

It is well-known that first-generation Anabaptists immersed themselves in Scripture -- but how did they interpret the Bible? What verses were most important to them? How did the Bible shape their piety and daily life? The Biblical Concerdance of the Swiss Brethren, available for the first time in English, goes a long way to providing answers to these questions. In this early printed booklet, the Swiss Brethren organized Old and New Testament passages under topical headings, beginning with the "Fear of God" and ending with "Child Rearing," with over sixty more topical selections in between. Readers with interests in the Bible and Anabaptism will find this book a valuable addition to the literature.

Religion in a New Key by M. Darrol Bryant

CA$20.95

Religion in a New Key is a creative exploration of a new situation in the religious life of our time -- the meeting of men and women of different faiths. Professor Bryant argues that this important religious phenomenon signals a new spiritual possibility for humankind. But we have yet to fully plumb its depths. Bryant explores the implications of interreligious encounter and dialogue for the study of religion and for our life as believing members of different religious communities. Religion in a New Key is relevant to the current tensions between different religious communities. Bryant believes that the experience of dialogue points the way to a new relationship between men and women of different faiths -- a way already anticipated by Gandhiji. As Bryant knows from his own experience of dialogue, it leads to a new appreciation of the faith of others and to a recognition of our shared experience of faith across traditions. At the same time, it challenges us to go more deeply into our respective faiths. Dialogue, Bryant argues, can become the new key for the practice and the study of religion. This edition significantly extends the purposes of the original lectures by taking the reader more deeply into the dialogue of religions. The new essays include a further exploration of dialogue with special attention to the Muslim world, a moving account of dialogue as encounter in Buddhist monasteries in Korea and Japan and a vivid account of the Kumbha Mela, the world's largest religious event.

Mennonite Alternative Service in Russia: The Story of Abram Duck and His Colleagues 1911-17 by Lawrence Klippenstein and Jacob Dick

CA$21.95

In 1911, at the age of 21, Abram Duck of Schonfeld, Ukraine, was ordered to report to the Azov forestry camp near Mariapol to begin his obligatory term of service. By that year, the forestry service, or Forstei, had been in existence for some 30 years as a Mennonite alternative to military service in Russia. It had played an important role in Mennonite life, both for the communities as a whole in their relationship to the Russian government and the society around them and for the thousands of young Mennonite men whose lives had been touched by the experience. ... Combining a general overview with more individual histories,(Lawrence) Klippenstein's and (Jacob)Dick's book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the place of alternative service in the lives of the Russian Mennonites in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and perhaps gives us a new appreciation of the legacy of that service for the generations that followed. -- Saskatchewan Mennonite Historian reviewed by Ron Peters
