Land, Piety, Peoplehood by Richard K. MacMaster paper, 344 pages, $19.95
Richard K. MacMaster follows the Mennonite migration to the New World and
analyzes the ecomonic, social, political, and religious forces which drove these
people out of the Old World into America. Mac Master paints a portrait of the
lives of the early American Mennonite people: Their wealth, migration patterns,
social structures, family patterns, and changing attitudes toward education. He
traces the influence of such movements as Pietism on these people and shows how
they fit into the total context of colonial and revolutionary America. Volume 1.

Mennonites in American Society, 1930-1970 by Paul Toews paper, 448 pages, $19.95
This volume provides a rich interpretive story of how Mennonites have
preserved their identity through the 20th century. Paul Toews examines ways
progressive Mennonites have slowed their absorption into American culture
through creating institutional systems, refining and rearticulating ideologies,
building ecumenical alliances, and developing a service and missional activism.
Meanwhile, the Amish have formed a creative set of adaptive strategies that
permit economic integration and social isolation. An in-depth look at how
Mennonites nad Amish were able to become a more visible and respected people
than ever before during their more than 300 years in America. Volume 4.

Can a Christian conscientiously take part in a modern war, a war that would undoubtedly result in the utter annihilation of tens of thousands of innocent persons--possibly a large part of the entire human rase? There have been numerous books and propaganda pamphlets issued on this subject. Most of them are not Biblical in viewpoint. It is the Biblical realism of this book that makes it such a deep and prophetic contribution to the subject. Christian theology should start from the scriptures. Copyright 1962 | |

| This is a new book in good condition. A bit of soiling on the front and back covers. No writing in the book . The possibility of a nuclear holocaust has brought humankind into a radically new, unprecedented, and unanticipated religious situation. Gordon D. Kaufman offers a cogent and original analysis of this predicament, outlining specific proposals for reconceiving the central concerns and symbols of Christian faith. He beings with an account of a visit to the Peace Park in the rebuilt city of Hiroshima. Reflecting upon this experience, Kaufman foresees that further use of nuclear weapons will result not in rebuilding but in annihilation of the human enterprise. Copyright 1985 | |

| How has the Mennonite Church, now part of MC USA, changed in regard to it's beliefs and practices about peace over the past 100 years? How has it remained the same? Ervin Stutzman shows how the church moved over the past century from an emphasis on nonresistance and nonconformity to engage in advocacy for peace and justice. At the same time, Stutzman presses for a greater emphasis on the way that God's activity must guide our work in the world, arguing for a stronger link between God's grace, justice, and peace.
