Amid the mid-twentieth-century post-war relief and rebuilding efforts, reconsideration of views on nonviolence and civic engagement was also underway for North American Mennonites. What peace theology was adequate to the task of recasting the church’s role in the world as it was emerging, including its economic and political systems? Essays in this volume explore these questions through intentional dialog across diverse viewpoints, including some in tension with the Mennonite hierarchy and broader Mennonite majority of the time. The writings–both their themes and their approach of intentional conversation across differences–provide a resource for Christians today wrestling anew with such issues amid the unprecedented upheaval marking the first two decades of the twenty-first century.
