The Believers' Church

The History and Character of Radical Protestantism

By: Donald F. Durnbaugh

The most comprehensive and authoritative review and analysis of that line of church history which runs from the sixteenth-century Anabaptists...to the present age of...church struggle and lay renewal.... The authoritative volume in the field...imperative reading for scholars and other thinking Christians. Franklin H. Littell A classic. John H. Yoder The best-yet synthetic presentation of the Believers' Church stance as a tradition. . . . The basic document which should be read by Catholics or 'mainstream Protestants' who have hitherto understood the radical reformation heritage through polemic categories alone, or as an episode of only one century. 'Journal of Ecumenical Studies' An admirable and comprehensive treatment of 'sect-type' churchmanship. . . . Indispensable material from which our judgments can be formed and our vision stimulated. 'The Christian Century

The Tax Dilemma

Praying for Peace, Paying for War

By: Donald Kaufman

The Tax Dilemma by Donald D. Kaufman One of the most complete treatments of the war tax issue. The federal income tax is the chief link connecting each individual's daily labor with the tremendous buildup for war. Peace is elusive because governments are sold on the assumption that the threat of violence will preserve or redeem every situation. The author explores the moral implications for persons conscientiously opposed to paying for war. He traces biblical and historical precedents and discusses possible responses to the ethical dilemma today. This enhanced edition is strengthened by the addition of insights from 42 writers. Recognizing that the U.S. Government now has a Federal budget where military priorities trump all needs, this reprint of The Tax Dilemma: . . could not be more timely. Together with other resources it will enable us to find alternatives to tax-supported violence. **All royalties for this book are being donated to the Peace Tax Foundation.

Donald B. Kraybill has spent his career among Anabaptist groups, gaining an unparalleled understanding of these traditionally private people. Kraybill shares that deep knowledge in this succinct overview of the beliefs and cultural practices of Amish, Brethren, Hutterites, and Mennonites in North America. Found throughout Canada, Central America, Mexico, and the United States, these religious communities include more than 200 different groups with 800,000 members in 17 countries. Through 340 short entries, Kraybill offers readers information on a wide range of topics related to religious views and social practices. With thoughtful consideration of how these diverse communities are related, this compact reference provides a brief and accurate synopsis of these groups in the twenty-first century.

The Church

Sacraments, Worship, Ministry, Mission

By: Donald G. Bloesch

In The Church, Donald G. Bloesch explores with clarity and balance the contours of ecclesiology. He forthrightly takes up the most controversial of issues ranging from matters of church authority, the sacraments and worship to the church's place in the plan of salvation, the church and the kingdom of heaven, and church reunion. Evangelical in spirit, ecumenical in breadth and biblical in depth, Bloesch's work presents a theology of the church that calls for reformation and renewal according to the Word and Spirit of God.

On the Backroad to Heaven

Old Order Hutterites, Mennonites, Amish, and Brethren

By: Donald B. Kraybill,Carl Desportes Bowman,Carl F. Bowman

On the Backroad to Heaven is a unique guidebook to the world of Old Order Anabaptist groups. Focusing on four Old Order communities -- the Hutterites, Mennonites, Amish, and Brethren -- Donald B. Kraybill and Carl Desportes Bowman provide a fascinating overview of their culture, growth, and distinctive way of life. Following a general introduction to Old Order culture, they show how each group uses a different strategy to create and sustain its identity. The Hutterites, for example, keep themselves geographically segregated from the larger society, whereas the Brethren interact more freely with it. The Amish and Mennonites are more alike in how they engage the outside world, adopting a complex but flexible strategy of compromise that produces an evolving canon of social and religious rules. This first comparative study sketches the differences as well as the common threads that bind these groups together.
