  • The Mennonite Quarterly Review Common Witness
    278 The Mennonite Quarterly Review dialogue and understanding, and concludes: “the practical practice of self- imposed social exclusion is necessary to the idea and social reality of social inclusion” (222). University of Mary Washington DAWN S. BOWEN _________________ Common Witness: A Story of Ministry Partnership between French and North American Mennonites, 1953-2003. By David Yoder Neufeld. Elkhart, Ind.: Institute of Mennonite Studies. 2016. Pp. 167. $24. Immediately after World War II North American Christians began to send missionaries abroad, and some of these went to Europe. Confident, buoyed by their countries’ military victories, they typically practiced an evangelism designed to convert lapsed and lost Europeans. Within a few years North American Mennonite Christians also began sending missionaries to Europe where French Mennonites were willing to collaborate with them. The North Americans, who had been conscientious objectors an ocean away from combat, had suffered little from the war; their French brothers and sisters had suffered grievously. The North Americans were eager to serve and open to embrace a vision of mission that would appropriately address the religious and socio-cultural realities of war-torn Europe. The French were ready to work with the North Americans to give expression to this vision of the gospel in their national capital, Paris. In Common Witness David Yoder Neufeld tells the story of fifty years of this collaboration. It is a complex story, but he tells it well, enabling the large narrative to emerge and the main issues to be clear. And he is fortunate to have colorful characters to write about: North American missionary administrators J.

  • An Online Bibliography 1859-2011
    Anabaptism and Mission An Online Bibliography 1859-2011 Edited by Chad Mullet Bauman and James R. Krabill (First Edition) Revised and Updated by Joseph F. Pfeiffer Introduction to the Updated, Online Edition (2011) The following online electronic resource represents my efforts over the last few years, as a student at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS), with the sponsorship and partnership of the AMBS Mission Studies Center, directed by Walter W. Sawatsky, to update the first print edition of this work: Anabaptism and Mission: A Bibliography, 1859-2000 (Elkhart, IN: Mennonite Mission Network, 2002), compiled and edited through the tremendous and tireless efforts of Chad M. Bauman and James R. Krabill. Throughout the ongoing project thus far, the researching and compiling of sources was a humbling task, as the body of bibliographic materials on this subject never remains static. Not only has the project entailed updating entries of authors and sources listed in the first edition, as well new authors and scholars that have come on the scene in the first decade of the 21 st century, but several more sources even from the 20th century were found and added, as the development of electronic communication and information technology has made a great deal more information and data available, even since the time of the first publication. Furthermore, the author has continued the trend of conceiving of Anabaptist as inherently broader than the mainline Mennonite denominations. Thus, including more materials from other Anabaptists traditions, such as the often over-looked Apostolic Christian tradition (see entries for Sheetz and Donais), as well as the Brethren in Christ Church, allows for the vision of a broader and more contextually diversified vision of Anabaptism to emerge, such as in contexts of the Amazon basin and New Guinea Highlands.
