When The Politics of Jesus Makes A Difference (Hauerwas, 1993)
“Yoder may well help us to use the remaining resources of that tradition to help Christians rediscover ways to serve our non-Christian brothers and sisters by being unwavering in our commitment to the politics of Jesus”.
Remembering John Howard Yoder (1927-1997), (Hauerwas, 1998)
