Practicing The Politics Of Jesus

Practicing the Politics of Jesus holds potential to be the definitive book on John Howard Yoder’s social ethics. Through a treatment of Yoder’s thought that is insightful and sophisticated yet surprisingly accessible given the profundity of the issues being analyzed, Zimmerman lays out the relevance of the politics of Jesus for people committed to the power of God’s transforming love. As foreword writer John Paul Lederach mentions, the book reads almost like a novel-because Zimmerman has managed skillfully to how Yoder’s personal and church-related narratives helped shape his theology.
