Refocusing A Vision: Shaping Anabaptist Chacacter in the 21st Century

by John D. Roth (Editor)

This series of essays is written in response to Harold Bender's 1946 The Anabaptist Vision, while asking how does that vision speak to the needs of an Anabaptists in the 21st century. Most of the authors take issue with parts of Bender's vision in an attempt to bring Anabaptism more into the Protestant and/or evangelical fold. I find it helpful from a historical perspective, and also helped to think through what aspects of historic the Anabaptist faith perspective I can affirm and where I differ.
