Description:
<DIV><P>The more things change, the more they stay the same. <I>From Nonresistance to Justice</I> explores how this is true when it comes to teaching about peace for the former Mennonite Church, now part of Mennonite Church USA. Has the church changed in regard to its beliefs and practices about peace over the past 100 years? Yes. Has it remained the same? Yes. Reading this book will show that both are true.</P><P>Through the book, Ervin Stutzman shows how the church moved from an emphasis on nonresistance and nonconformity to engage in advocacy for peace and justice. At the same time, he presses for a greater emphasis on the way that God&rsquo;s activity must guide our work in the world, arguing for a stronger link between God&rsquo;s grace, justice, and peace.</P><P>Volume 46 in the Studies in Anabaptist and Mennonite History Series.</P></DIV>
