Revolutionary Christianity: The 1966 South American Lectures

Reflecting and also subverting the acknowledged faddish attempt to address the revolutionary nature of Christianity these lectures provide an illuminating snapshot of Yoders vibrant initial encounter with Latin American Christianity. In these lectures he thematically addresses the shape of the free church the Christian practice of peace and the place of the church in the midst of revolution. In a manner that betrays his confidence in the eventual triumph of faithfulness Yoder concludes that the peace-witnessing free church is by definition always the community that is the soul and conscience of our revolutionary age.
