| Summary: | This brief posthumously published book offers scholars a window into how John Howard Yoder chose to present a Christian pacifist ethic to an atypical audience—an ecumenical group of “all the non-Roman Churches,” as Yoder put it—in Warsaw, Poland, in 1983., In eleven lectures, reproduced in this book with minimal editing, Yoder focused on both the history and the future of nonviolence. He was well aware that the people he was speaking to had to decide whether they should participate in secular nonviolent actions in relation to Poland's Communist government. In addition, as a minority group of non-Catholic Christians, they needed to understand and relate to their Roman Catholic neighbors whose heritage included a just war ethic. |
