To Hear the Word - Second Edition

John Howard Yoder's work significantly transformed theological ethics and biblical studies by emphasizing their interconnectedness. He advocates for a reading of Scripture that is both ecclesial and missional, rooted in Anabaptist principles while embracing an ecumenical spirit. Yoder's approach is historically informed and literarily sensitive, aiming for clarity and pastoral relevance. His focus on Jesus as the central figure in Scripture encourages a community-oriented faith that calls believers to follow the example of Christ, encapsulated in the phrase, "Our Lamb has conquered; let us follow him."
