This book invites congregations to learn communal forms of biblical
interpretation through which to implement discernment practices
guiding us through today's challenging ethical and theological
riddles. "How timely it is in the hurly burly fractiousness of our
times for Ervin Stutzman . . . to lift up the core practice of
discernment for all to consider afresh." --Sara Wenger Shenk,
President, Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary, in the Foreword.
"Stutzman proposes that the contemporary church, faced with
difficult decisions about moral and practical issues, can learn
from the long tradition of communal discernment and biblical
interpretation that goes hand-in-hand with the Anabaptist
understanding of the congregation as a voluntary community of
believers. . . ." --Sally Weaver Glick, Author, In Tune with God:
The Art of Congregational Discernment. "Stutzman envisions an
increased role of congregational discernment as one of the tools of
faithful hermeneutics in the Anabaptist tradition. He explicates
the role and complexities of group discernment well and provides a
rich treasure trove of insights and information." --Jan Wood,
Author (with Lon Fendall and Bruce Bishop) of Practicing
Discernment Together: Finding God's Way Forward in Decision Making.
"Discernment in the future will require not only the theology and
tools Stutzman carefully develops but also a firm rejection of
Constantinian models of monolithic decision-making." --David
Brubaker, Associate Professor of Organizational Studies at the
Center for Justice and Peacebuilding, Eastern Mennonite University
