John Howard Yoder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia John Howard Yoder (1927-1997) was a Christian theologian, ethicist, and Biblical scholar best known for his radical Christian pacifism, his mentoring of future theological giants such as Stanley Hauerwas, his loyalty to his Mennonite faith, and his 1972 masterpiece The Politics of Jesus. Yoder was born in Smithville, Ohio in 1927 and earned his undergraduate degree from Goshen College. After showing what he believed to be inconsistencies of Niebuhr's perspective, Yoder attempted to demonstrate by an exegesis of the Gospel of Luke and parts of Paul's letter to the Romans that, in his view, a radical Christian pacifism was the most faithful approach for the disciple of Christ. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/John_Howard_Yoder   (3746 words)

Likewise, Yoder argued, the primary responsibility of Christians is not to take over society and impose their convictions and values on people who don't share their faith, but to "be the church". Yoder claims that the church thus lives in the conviction that God calls Christians to imitate the way of Christ in his absolute obedience, even if it leads to their deaths, for they, too, will finally be vindicated in resurrection. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/j/jo/john_howard_yoder.htm   (767 words)

The Politics of Jesus - Book Yoder convincingly argues that the Power of God is given as gift, through cross and resurrection, and that the 'handles of history' are not controlled in a cause and effect relationship as is often assumed by so-called 'realist' theologies. Yoder's familiarity with Scripture is magisterial, and the gentle yet firm way he responds to his Catholic and Reformed critics is convincing and exciting. Yoder's death in 1997 marked the passing of the man whom I believe may well be regarded as the most important theologian of our time. book.lowpriced.org /0802807348.html   (1096 words)

The Christian Witness in the Earthly City: Yoder’s long debate with Niebuhr, on terms that were surprisingly Augustinian both early and late in his career, does not make Yoder himself him an “Augustinian,” of course.

Church & Peace 1998/1-2 spring/summer - English - News from the Network Yoder never tired of emphasizing how important the integration of the insights from such observations is for the life and decision-making of the Church. Yoder answered "No" with his formulation of the theme for the Puidoux Conferences, "The Lordship of Christ Over Church and State"; the authority of Christ is valid in both spheres, encompassing both church AND society, even if in practice certain rules are required in order to respect non-believers as well. Yoder was always able to discover the peace church witness in places where, according to his own critique, this witness should never have existed. www.c3.hu /~bocs/cpq98sa2.htm   (4828 words)

★ Reviews for Yoder,_John_Howard Yoder suggests that we should proudly claim the position of Jesus, not because it is efficacious, but because it is obedient to Jesus' witness. Yoder explains away the Noachian Covenant as a reflection of an obsolete era and basis his arguments primarily on John 8, where Jesus pardons an alduteress about to be stoned to death. John Howard Yoder invested his lifetime in answering that question--his best-known single work is The Politics of Jesus (1973). authors.booksunderreview.com /Y/Yoder,_John_Howard   (2519 words)

Discipleship   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) With John H. Yoder, who began writing on the subject in the late 1950s, the language changed only slightly. For Yoder as for Bender and Hershberger, being a disciple of Jesus means renouncing responsibility for and control over the world, just like it did for Jesus on the Cross. Hershberger, Bender, and Yoder all held that discipleship implies that it is not our business to take responsibility for history. www.mhsc.ca /encyclopedia/contents/D5788ME.html   (1084 words)

Barnes & Noble.com - The Politics of Jesus: Vicit Agnus Noster - John Howard Yoder - Paperback - Revised Yoder presses beyond the question of whether Jesus was political to ask what sort of politics is the mark of Christian discipleship. Yet Yoder does what I thought most difficult: He makes clear the understanding of Jesus' mission, and while most skeptics will perhaps dismiss his writings concerning Christ's choices as lessening Christ's divinity and focusing upon his humanity, this is simply a weak attempt to avoid the fact that Yoder has thought well through the arguments. Through these arguments, Yoder reveals the obvious faults in the traditional view of church and state since Constantine (which I call the first of many 'unholy alliances' between church and state, when the church loses it's identity within itself and it's King, Jesus). search.barnesandnoble.com /booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?isbn=0802807348   (632 words)
