Review: CHRISTIAN ATTITUDES TO PEACE, WAR, AND REVOLUTION by John Howard Yoder

Just as JI Packer is the brain of modern Calvinism, providing its intellectual basis, John Howard Yoder was and remains the brain of modern Anabaptism. Despite the fact that he's been dead for several years and that his books are, in my experience, scholarly and difficult, he remains the major intellectual voice of the movement, especially when it comes to nonexistence.

This book is a collection of essays detailing Yoder's beliefs about how a Christian should react to state violence. Since it's a collection rather than a coherent work, it's choppy and repetitive at times, and while I agree with his conclusions, I've never found Yoder very fun to read. I can't recommend this book.
