The work of John Howard Yoder has become increasingly influential
in recent years. Moreover, it is gaining influence in some
surprising places. No longer restricted to the world of theological
ethicists and Mennonites, Yoder has been discovered as a refreshing
voice by scholars working in many other fields. For thirty-five
years, Yoder was known primarily as an articulate defender of
Christian pacifism against a theological ethics guild dominated by
the Troeltschian assumptions reflected in the work of Walter
Rauschenbusch and Reinhold and Richard Niebuhr. But in the last
decade, there has been a clearly identifiable shift in direction. A
new generation of scholars has begun reading Yoder alongside
figures most often associated with post-structuralism,
neo-Nietzscheanism, and post-colonialism, resulting in original and
productive new readings of his work. At the same time, scholars
from outside of theology and ethics departments, indeed outside of
Christianity itself, like Romand Coles and Daniel Boyarin, have
discovered in Yoder a significant conversation partner for their
own work. This volume collects some of the best of those essays in
hope of encouraging more such work from readers of Yoder and in
hopes of attracting others to his important work.
