Usable past?

Christendom or believers church? Here a twentieth-century Anabaptist ponders this and other key questions while telling his 90-year life story. While encountering a traumatized post-World War II Europe, Peachey and Mennonite colleagues saw strengths in their heritage and developed concerns that their denominationa?s focus on professionalization and institution building risked hiding the Anabaptist light under a bushel. This led to the a?Concerna? movement, whose themes, among others, still resonate in this thoughtful account. Anyone interested in a blend of autobiography and careful reflection on the believers church tradition and implications for todaya?s postmodern world will find here much to ponder.Peachey, Paul is the author of 'Usable past?', published 2008 under ISBN 9781931038485 and ISBN 1931038481.
