Overview

"""""What the Kingdom of God requires is a radical Christian movement in our own time which has a vigor and depth that equals that of those radicals who have gone before us."""" These words introduce a Radical Reformation Reader, first published in 1971 by a group confident that the past could--and did--offer practical, theological guidance for following Jesus in the contemporary world. What forms of church are appropriate to the ecclesial heirs of such a radical tradition, especially in settings marked by individualism, escalating violence, and growing economic disparity? The essays republished here explore divergent contextual responses and invite readers to do the same."

Concern for Anabaptist Renewal is valuable not just as an exploration of early Anabaptist faith and practice but also as a window into how mid-century North American Mennonites used history to speak to their church present. Their vision for how history can call the church to greater faithfulness remains compelling today. --Joel Horst Nofziger, Executive Director, Mennonite Heritage Center
