Rating: Summary: Yoder's Ecclesiology and Ecumenics Review: This book is a long read, but well worth it. Basically it is a collection of essays by John Howard Yoder dealing with issues of ecclesiology, ethics and ecumenism. Some of the essays printed here were previously published in THE ORIGINAL REVOLUTION and the rest were selected by editor, Michael Cartwright. Notwithstanding a certain disjointedness between the essays, this book is an excellent piece of work that shows Yoder's ecclesiology more clearly and thoroughally than any other work availible. Those that are fans of Yoder's work will not be disappointed and critics will be challenged by Yoder's sharp reasoning and theological acumen. This book treats among other themes, the issue and viability of pacifism, criticisms of "just war" theory, catholicity, interreligious dialog, Anabaptist theology of the sacraments, and a host of other ecclesiological issues. For those interested in Yoder, Christian perspectives on violence and peace, ecclesiology and ecumenism, this book is an eseential read. Highly reccomended.
