About The Book

Tradition has painted a portrait of a Savior who stands aloof from governmental concerns and who calls his disciples to an apolitical life. But such a picture of Jesus is far from accurate, according to John Howard Yoder. This watershed work in New Testament ethics leads us to a Savior who was deeply concerned with the agenda of politics and the related issues of power, status, and right relations. By canvassing Luke’s Gospel, Yoder argues convincingly that the true impact of Jesus’ life and ministry on his disciples’ social behavior points to a specific kind of Christian pacifism in which « the cross of Christ is the model of Christian social efficacy. » This second edition of The Politics of Jesus provides up-to-date interaction with recent publications that touch on Yoder’s timely topic. Following most of the chapters are new « epilogues » summarizing research conducted during the last two decades — research that continues to support the outstanding insights set forth in Yoder’s original work.
