    "Edmund Pries's work remains the definitive and authoritative study of oath refusal in early Anabaptism."-C. Arnold Snyder, Professor of History, emeritus.>"Edmund Pries's Anabaptist Oath Refusal provides a focused treatment of this disruptive practice, which was distinctive of anemerging tradition of dissent. Offering a thorough survey of early modern printed materials and edited compilations of legal records, the book evaluates both commonalities and contrasts in urban authorities' approaches to nonconformity, while tracing developments in Anabaptist behaviour and argumentation. Its detailed work places Anabaptist action alongside a kaleidoscopic overview of the oath's history in European political and social life and its place in early Reformation debates about hermeneutics and the proper relationship of the church to the magistracy."-David Y. Neufeld, Assistant Professor in History.Director, Institute for Anabaptist and Mennonite Studies.>"Today, in our Western world, the oath is often a side-issue. But for the 16th century Anabaptists, it was one of the 'crucial points' (Knackpunkte) why persecution began with full force. For the Anabaptists, swearing the oath touched on their discipleship, confirming that their loyalty was to the kingdom of God and his church. Yet for the territorial rulers and city authorities, loyalty and faithfulness also manifested itself in taking the oath. Oath refusal was a highly political and 'highly inflammatory' (brandgefährlich) matter, as Edmund Pries' study impressively illustrates.">"Christian communities have long wrestled with the perennial question of how to live in the world and yet not be a part of it in ways that depart from discipleship to Jesus Christ. Sixteenth century European societies were bound together by architectures of oath-taking. But in Matthew's Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples, "I tell you not to swear [oaths] at all... Rather, let your utterance be 'Yes, yes' [and] 'No, no'" (Mt. 5.33-37; cf. James 5.12). Edmund Pries's Anabaptist Oath Refusal tells us how important these oaths were, and describes the various ways in which the Anabaptists interrogated them. One of the reasons why the Anabaptist groups were persecuted turns on this question of oath-taking. At the same time, Catholic and Protestant Christians insisted on the importance of oaths for the maintenance of social and institutional veracity. Pries helps his readers understand the complexities and challenges faced by Anabaptists who were seeking to live faithfully and peaceably. Pries has given us a book of rich history, and at the same time he has provided a study that may help readers discern their own relationship to societal conventions."-Michael Minch, Education for Global Peace

    Indonesia is home to the oldest Mennonite community outside of Europe and North America. Author John D. Roth traces the 170-year history of Mennonites in Indonesia alongside the larger cultural and religious history of the country. By placing the legacy of European colonization from the sixteenth century to national independence in 1945 beside the history of the Dutch Mennonite mission to Indonesia in the nineteenth century, Roth creates a rich narrative tapestry. A Cloud of Witnesses traces the emergence of the three Mennonite-related groups found today in Indonesia. Like all churches, they have each integrated the good news of the gospel with the local culture, ethnic identity, religious currents, and national history in a distinctive way. >A Cloud of Witnesses helps to orient other members of the global Anabaptist-Mennonite church to the history and identity of this unique group of churches while also providing practical travel tips, recipes, reference notes on culture and language and tourist sites--making it the perfect accompaniment for those who plan to travel to Indonesia for Mennonite World Conference in the summer of 2022.

    Racism feeds on denial. Lament moves us to tell the truth. And the truth can set us free. Stories of racial injustice fill our news feeds. Yet for too long many in the church have been hesitant to speak up about racism in its many forms. We fear offending others, of using the wrong words, of not knowing what to say. In Lamenting Racism, a team of leading pastors and theologians invite us into the transformative and motivating practice of biblical lament as a powerful way to confront racism. Through their conversations in six thought-provoking videos, they name that God's people of every race are called to consider how we have been shaped and formed by race, and they guide us into experiencing lament as an anti-racism practice. Encouraging congregations to reclaim the lost art of biblical lament, these pastors and theologians model a powerful way to pour out the fear, shame, grief, and rage of racism as we cry out to God in prayer. In the process, we will be transformed and motivated to reclaim hope and to act for a world shaped by God's inclusive vision of love and blessing. This six-session study invites church groups to engage in the practice of biblical lament as a powerful tool in the church's struggle against racism.

    #MeToo. #ChurchToo. #GodToo? What if survivors of sexualized violence experience the Bible as a powerful spiritual resource rather than an oppressive tool in the hands of those seeking to dismiss or justify abuse? Bible scholar Susannah Larry leads fellow survivors and those who care for them in a journey toward reclaiming the Bible amid the trauma of sexualized violence. Leaving Silence: Sexualized Violence, the Bible, and Standing with Survivors is an unflinching examination of sexualized violence in the Bible and the God who stands steadfastly with survivors. Larry addresses biblical experiences of coercion, familial betrayal, and self-blame while also illuminating God's constant care and concern. ​By centering the experiences of survivors in Scripture, Larry opens new insights into some of the Bible's most difficult texts and releases its ancient stories to serve as a powerful healing witness to the God who has shared in the experience of sexualized violence. Under Larry's skillful guidance, readers will rediscover the God who is present in experiences of trauma and who desires ultimate wholeness for survivors.

    Longing for permission to be real about your own needs and struggles? Permission granted. As good Christian moms, we're not supposed to ask for much. Jesus meets all our needs and we're the light of the world to everybody else, right? Wrong. Shari Zook appeared to be an overachieving supermom who deftly supported her pastor-husband and their congregation, looked after their children, and cared for foster children through the ups and downs of placements. But inside, her world was growing increasingly desperate as she struggled with the grief of miscarriage, parenting a difficult child, and spiraling depression. ​ In her darkest hour, Zook let go of her need to appear super-human and reached out to receive God's unfolding grace. With humor and artistry, Peanut Butter and Dragon Wings gives us permission to step out from behind the appearance of rose-filtered perfection and embrace the authenticity of honest need and human limitations. In the book's twelve chapters you'll find twelve practical ways to reach for a faith that includes doubt, and holiness that includes failure.
