Excerpt from The History of the General Conference of the Mennonites of North America The occasion for the production of this work was the need of it. By those who participated in this movement from the beginning, this need may not be so distinctly felt. But for those who have since united, or for the generation which has since grown up, as well as for the casual inquirer the need is real. There has for years been a steadily increasing demand for information with regard to the history of the General Conference of the Mennonites of North America. The publication in pamphlet form of the proceedings of that body did something toward satisfying this demand. Yet many questions of historical importance these minutes left untouched or unexplained. Then the work of commit tees and individuals, performed during the triennial periods, necessarily received practically no mention. Even of its own sessions these minutes of the Conference give but a very limited account. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. From Nonresistance to Justice explores how this is true when it comes to teaching about peace for the former Mennonite Church, now part of Mennonite Church USA. Has the church changed in regard to its beliefs and practices about peace over the past 100 years? Yes. Has it remained the same? Yes. Reading this book will show that both are true. Through the book, Ervin Stutzman shows how the church moved from an emphasis on nonresistance and nonconformity to engage in advocacy for peace and justice. At the same time, he presses for a greater emphasis on the way that God’s activity must guide our work in the world, arguing for a stronger link between God’s grace, justice, and peace. Volume 46 in the Studies in Anabaptist and Mennonite History Series.

The Anabaptist Vision, given as a presidential address before the American Society of Church History in 1943, has become a classic essay. In it, Harold S. Bender defines the spirit and purposes of the original Anabaptists. Three major points of emphasis are: the transformation of the entire way of life of the individual to the teachings and example of Christ, voluntary church membership based upon conversion and commitment to holy living, and Christian love and nonresistance applied to all human relationships.
