John Howard Yoder is widely-known for his work on Christian pacifism, writing extensively on biblical studies and ethics. The Wipf & Stock John Howard Yoder Collection gathers four volumes which present a variety of Yoder’s contributions to those fields. In Revolutionary Christianity, a collection of essays delivered in South America, Yoder thematically addresses the shape of the free church, the Christian practice of peace, and the place of the church in the midst of revolution. A Pacifist Way of Knowing compiles some of Yoder’s most important essays on pacifism and epistemology to present the beginnings of a pacifist theory of knowledge. Additionally, Yoder explores Karl Barth’s view of Christianity and war in another book of essays, and lastly—in an updated edition of To Hear the Word—provides insight into his approach to biblical interpretation.
