Overview

To Hear the Word collects a variety of writings from John Howard Yoder on interpreting Scripture. This thoroughly corrected edition includes three new chapters, an appendix, and a foreword from Michael J. Gorman. As Gorman notes, to “hear the word rightly was to do the word publicly” for Yoder, and his writings “[guide] us toward a truly ecclesial yet missional reading of Scripture, with a profoundly Anabaptist yet ecumenical and catholic spirit, in historically astute and literarily sensitive ways that are nonetheless ‘straightforward’ and pastoral … he guides us toward a reading of Scripture that proceeds from and focuses on Jesus: Vicit Agnus Noster, Eum Sequamur; ‘Our Lamb has conquered; let us follow him.’ ”
