Guidelines

Use this area to review or discuss good books. To propose a book discussion, start a topic with the title of the book in the subject line. If you would like to have a formal discussion, set a few guidelines for the group (e.g., at what pace will the book be read, will it be discussed chapter by chapter or by theme.), or, if you prefer a general discussion, specify that in the fist post.

A friend suggested that I read this book. I thought I had read comments about it on this forum, but I couldn't find them when I searched.

Has anyone else read it? if so - what think ye?

The Politics of Jesus by John Howard Yoder is an excellent book on the person of Jesus from a Christian pacifist perspective. Others on this board may feel that Yoder's theology is a bit too evangelical, but I have gotten a lot out of his writings, including this hallmark, seminal book.

I have not read it or looked at it in a few years. I am planning to pick it up again and give it another reading. What do you think about it?


Peace,

John
