Few recent Christian thinkers have been as widely influential as John Howard Yoder (1927-1997). Encompassing a teaching career of more than thirty years and such landmark publications as 'The Politics of Jesus', Yoder's life and thought have profoundly impacted students and colleagues from a broad range of disciplines. In the words of Stanley Hauerwas, Yoder is probably the major theologican/ethicists of this half-century in America and certainly the leading Mennonite theologian of the twentieth century. 'The Wisdom of the Cross' is the only book to provide valuable secondary essays engaging Yoder's central theological concerns, together with a biographical reflection on his life and legacy. Written by scholars both from within and outside of Yoder's Mennonite community, these essays develop the most significant aspects of Yoder's thought - from his powerful defense of Christian pacifism to his seminal analysis of the politics of Jesus to his challenging contributions to Christian social ethics, ecclesiology, and theological method. The book also includes a previously unpublished essay on moral absolutes by Yoder himself. A fitting tribute to Yoder's distinguished career, this volume will be useful to readers new to Yoder's work and to those wishing to probe more deeply into the implications of his thought. Stanley Hauerwas is the Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. Chris K. Huebner is assistant professor of theology and ethics at Canadian Mennonite University in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Harry J. Huebner is professor of philosophy and theology, Canadian Mennonite University in Winnipeg, Manitoba Mark Thiessen Nation is associate professor of Theology at Eastern Mennonite Seminary, Harrisonburg, VA.
