Paperback. Condición: Good. Synopsis: John Howard Yoder is most famous for arguing in The Politics of Jesus that a sound reading of the New Testament demonstrates the abiding relevance of Jesus to social ethics. However, it is seldom acknowledged that Yoder makes essentially the same argument with regard to the Old Testament. Throughout his extensive writings, Yoder offers a provocative interpretation of the Old Testament that culminates in the way of Jesus and establishes the ethical, ecclesiological, and historiographical continuity of the entire biblical canon. In The Politics of Yahweh, presented as a prequel to The Politics of Jesus, John C. Nugent makes Yoder's complete Old Testament interpretation accessible in one place for the first time. Nugent does not view Yoder's interpretation as flawless. Rather, Nugent moves beyond summary to offer honest critique and substantial revision. His constructive proposal, which stands in fundamental continuity with the work of Yoder, is likely to provoke thought from theologians, biblical scholars, and ethicists. Even at points where readers disagree with some of his and Yoder's interpretations, they will be challenged to explore new perspectives and rethink common assumptions concerning the diverse and often confusing issues that arise from sustained reflection on the Old Testament. Endorsements: Making up for the paucity of attention to the Old Testament in ecclesiology, Nugent shows that Yoder's unique 'Israel-like view of the Church' substantially draws on the Old Testament as an essential part of the narrative arc in understanding God's work in forming a 'royal priesthood'--a mission that culminates in Christ and his body, the ecclesia. This is an important corrective to some recent rereadings of Yoder, which have no room to account for history--and particularly the history of Israel--in Yoder's missional ecclesiology. This is an important contribution to current debates. -James K.A. Smith Calvin College It is beyond doubt that John Howard Yoder is a pivotal, defining force in contemporary theology, particularly as pertains to faith in the public domain. But Yoder is often thinly understood from his best-known work. This welcome volume pays close and fresh attention to the depth and rich scope of Yoder's interpretation, especially with reference to his careful reading of the Old Testament. The outcome is an awareness of Yoder's imaginative competence as a biblical theologian facing the demanding work of a Christian reading of the Old Testament. A plus of the volume is an extensive Yoder bibliography. -Walter Brueggemann Columbia Theological Seminary In his many books and articles, and in a vast number of unpublished essays and lectures, John Howard Yoder encompassed virtually the entire theological curriculum. John Nugent, whose breadth is similarly impressive, has here provided a comprehensive summary and critical evaluation of Yoder's interpretation of the Old Testament, especially as it bears on the issue of 'pacifism, ' or to be more precise, as Yoder and Nugent would have it, trust in God. -Ben C. Ollenburger Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary This wonderful book is all I hoped for--and more. Nugent clearly knows Yoder's thought extremely well. With considerable intelligence and discernment, he has shown the vital importance of the Old Testament roots of The Politics of Jesus. But more than that, he has written a book that has great relevance for all Christians interested in the relationship between the Testaments, especially as related to the subject of peace. -Mark Thiessen Nation Eastern Mennonite Seminary Author Biography: John C. Nugent is Professor of Old Testament at Great Lakes Christian College. He is the editor of Radical Ecumenicity: Pursuing Unity and Continuity after John Howard Yoder (2010) and The End of Sacrifice: The Capital Punishment Writings of John Howard Yoder (2011).…

Paperback. Condición: Good. For centuries, Christians sought to rescue people from this world. Today, we're trying to fix it. While this shift is helpful in some ways, in other ways it can be quite dangerous. Endangered Gospel flips the script on this conversation by stressing the core gospel truth that rather than ushering in a new world through social activism, God's people already are the new world in Christ. It's not our job to make this world a better place, but to be the better place God has already made in this world. That's good news If we let go of this truth, we become servants of the world and not God. We also lose the great joy and abundant life that God intended us to have in community. Jesus himself said that the world will know we are Christians by our love for one another--not the fervor of our activism. Social action makes us feel relevant and alive, but it can't be the center of our new life in Christ. Endangered Gospel explores how we might enthusiastically embrace the social dimensions of the gospel without divorcing them from the church or forcing them on the world. Read this book, hear the gospel story afresh, and embrace the good news of God's kingdom Endangered Gospel is at the same time a prophetic critique of a church that has lost its way as well as a careful, patient, accessible sketch of what a kingdom-shaped church is designed to look like. John Nugent is a careful scholar, a deep thinker, a judicious critic, and a committed churchman, and in this book he reveals once again why he is becoming a leading Anabaptist voice when it comes to church and society. I have read very few books with which I agreed as much as Endangered Gospel. --Scot McKnight, Julius R. Mantey Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary In an era where more and more Christians desperately long to make the world a better place, John Nugent dares to question these well-meaning desires by challenging us to recover our unique and peculiar calling as the church: to serve the world by embodying and bearing witness to God's better place, the in-breaking kingdom of God. --Philip D. Kenneson, Professor of Theology and Philosophy, Milligan College; Author, Life on the Vine: Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit in Christian Community John Nugent is Professor of Old Testament at Great Lakes Christian College. He is the author of The Politics of Yahweh (2011), editor of Radical Ecumenicity (2010) and The End of Sacrifice (2011), and coeditor of the three-volume Yoder for Everyone series (2012-14).…
