      There is no greater contribution that can be made by the tiny people of God

      in the revolution of our age than to be that people,

      both separate from the world and identified with its needs,

      both the soul of society (without which it cannot live)

      and its conscience (with which it cannot be at peace).

      —John Howard Yoder

      Introduction

      Historical Considerations

      Yoder’s trip to South America was not very long—May 22 to July 8—but the schedule was full. The two series of invited lectures served as the foundation for the trip. It appears that he presented the series of lectures gathered as “The Believers Church” in both Montevideo and Buenos Aires. The series gathered as “Church in a Revolutionary World” was presented in full in Montevideo and in part in Buenos Aires. And, the “Peace” series was only presented in part in Montevideo and not in Buenos Aires.
