The Heterodox Yoder

Více o knize

Focusing on the concept of discipleship as a form of ethics, this critical analysis reexamines Yoder's theological foundations and their impact on Jewish-Christian and ecumenical relations. The author argues that Yoder's political language ultimately limits his ethical vision, confining Christianity to social ethics. This perspective, according to Martens, marginalizes many orthodox Christian claims, including ecumenical creeds, leading to the conclusion that Yoder's Christian ethic is heterodox in nature.
