NOTE: In troubling contrast to his work, we know that John Howard Yoder’s life was seriously flawed by acts of sexual violence against many women. Although his writings on nonviolence continue to be influential, we acknowledge that Yoder was, ironically and tragically, perpetuating violence, over many decades, in his private life. No reading or interpretation of Yoder can be done faithfully without understanding the extensive harmful legacy he has also left.

For more information, see Rachel Waltner Goossen’s research, published in Mennonite Quarterly Review, entitled “Defanging the Beast”.



Una lectura del Nuevo Testamento muestra que Jesús es un modelo practicable de ética social, de asombrosa radicalidad y pertinencia para nuestra época.

Yoder le pregunta al texto bíblico lo que preocupa al ser humano de hoy y obtiene la respuesta tomando con respeto y seriedad el texto mismo en sus lenguas originales, y la realidad histórica y social de sus autores y lectores originales.

Al bosquejar un modelo normativo para la conducta social del cristiano de hoy, Yoder demuestra también su amplio conocimiento de la historia de la Iglesia y de las dramáticas circunstancias del mundo actual.
