This is the “parent page” for several essays I have written about Anabaptist theology. This first list includes some essays from my book, Embodying the Way of Jesus: Anabaptist Convictions for the Twenty-First Century
(1) Anabaptism for the Twenty-First Century
(2) Whither Contemporary Anabaptist Theology?
(3) From Sixteenth-Century Anabaptism to Mennonite Church U.S.A.
(4) Civilian Public Service and Mennonite Pacifism
(5) Anabaptist Faith and American Democracy
And here are other essays on the general theme of Anabaptist convictions:
Against Empire: A Yoderian Reading of Romans
An Anabaptist Vision for the 21st Century: Some Propostitions
I have written a post entitled “The “Third Way”: An Introduction.” It is a selected bibliography of introductory works. Here’s the url: http://robertmilliman.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/anabaptistbib/#more-52. If you have the time or inclination, I would welcome your feedback.
[...] everyone in order, that’s just common knowledge. So I guess this is where I agree with the Anabaptist tradition, that as a follower of Jesus I am bound to a much different “alternative” [...]
I just discovered your blog this week. I ordered and read Embodying The Way of Jesus. As a Baptist pastor who is not interested in the fundamentalist evangelicalism of the Southern Baptist Convention today, nor in the struggling reaction to it by the moderate CBF, I might have found a place to call my own. Can I become a honorary “neo-Mennonite?” Are there dues, and if so, where do I send them? Seriously, thank you for your work in articulating an anabaptist vision that many of us in other Baptist traditions are searching for. I’ll be back. (I must also confess to being influenced by David Augsburger, as I have taken two DMin seminars with him at Fuller in the past two years. What a gracious and brilliant man!)
Thanks, Chuck. Indeed, no dues to be part of the Neo-Mennonite “club”—welcome! Also, you’re the first person I’ve seen who uses this same Word Press theme. Great minds think alike. I agree concerning David Augsburger. He’s one of my favorite people.
I changed over to this wordpress theme in Jan or Feb, I think. As a result, my page views have increased, possibly because there are three posts on the homepage. I’ve received several positive comments on the theme, so I guess it’s working for now. Thanks for your site and work. I’ll be back often as I continue to explore my anabaptist roots.
