Author: Chris K. Huebner, Tripp York |
Publisher: Wipf & Stock Publishers
“…what I gather from the excellent essays in the current volume is that modern Mennonites would tend to say that they offer, not the path of misguided purism, not the illusion of ‘beautiful souls,’ but rather their own middle way between apoliticism and political compromise. This is because, as they rightly say, they see the Church itself as the true polity and (unlike most of the magisterial Reformation) they see the possibility of ‘living beyond the law’ in terms of a new sort of social and political practice.”
John Milbank, University of Nottingham, from the Foreword
“What hath the Radical Reformation to do with Anglo-Catholics–especially Anglicans who have a lingering penchant for Christendom? The answer from this book: a lot more than you might expect! Huebner and York have staged a mutually critical interaction between Radical Orthodoxy and Mennonite theology, illuminating both as a result.”
James K. A. Smith, Calvin College, author of Introducing Radical Orthodoxy & editor of Radical Orthodoxy and the Reformed Tradition
“This book is breath of fresh air. Retrieving central themes of classical theology, it is both faithful to tradition and innovative, offering a third way between liberalism and conservatism, one which sees theology as critical for public life without privatizing Christianity, on the one hand, or slipping into Constantinianism, on the other.”
A. James Reimer, Conrad Grebel University College, author of Mennonites and Classical Theology: Dogmatic Foundations for Christian Ethics & The Dogmatic Imagination: The Dynames of Christian Belief
