Book: The Church Made Strange for the Nations: Essays in Ecclesiology and Political Theology

Just published: The contributed volume, "The Church Made Strange for the Nations: Essays in Ecclesiology and Political Theology", edited by Paul G. Doerksen (Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute) and Karl Koop (Canadian Mennonite University), is available from the publisher (Pickwick Publications, September 2011), but not yet, it appears, from any online bookstores.

Endorsement: "'In early ecumenical debates ... Churches tried to define a new, critical role in society, after having failed to speak up for victims of violence and injustice. Descendents of the Radical Reformation - represented in this volume - confront us with that challenge anew. In dialogue with philosophy, history, sociology, and even the arts, a political theology for an exilic church (or exile-church) is inspired." (Fernando Enns, VU University Amsterdam)
