This is a text whose time has come, and one that will be valuable for those from any faith tradition and likely required reading for Anabaptist scholars, pastors, and students in the coming years.
An impressive piece of scholarship.
A strong contribution to a little-studied aspect of Anabaptist/Mennonite life.
An important book [that] lays out the critical issues and highlights thought-provoking stories of misused power.
The editors are to be commended for presenting a well-integrated and thought-provoking book.
It will... intrigue readers who enjoy delving into the ambiguities and controversies of contentious Anabaptist communities.
This is a text whose time has come, and one that will be valuable for those from any faith tradition.
This is an important and timely work, since discussions of power are central to contemporary social and theological theorizing. But it is also an important contribution to Anabaptist studies, because it makes power an explicit and central theme. Offering a variety of essays from several disciplinary perspectives, the breadth of approach is one of the book's strengths.
