single chapter in The Original Revolution.25 Like Nonviolence—A Brief History: The Warsaw Lectures,26 this collection of essays, as a complete unit, is an illuminating snapshot of Yoder’s thought—in the midst of the challenges and turmoil of the late sixties—that provides a fascinating synthetic interweaving of diverse themes into a rich, complex, and coherent argument. In these lectures, we get a real sense of the energetic, enthusiastic, and accessible Yoder that is working hard to come to grips with a familiar challenge in a new way, working hard to bring multiple theological and sociological themes together in a critical yet encouraging manner.

      In conclusion, we would like to thank Martha Yoder Maust for granting permission to publish these lectures and for her genuine interest in supporting our efforts to bring the fullness of Yoder’s thought into print. Further, we would also like to thank Herald Press for granting permission to publish the lectures that significantly overlap some of the material originally published in The Original Revolution. We would like to note that this volume is not meant to replace The Original Revolution, but to provide a broader historical perspective for understanding it. Finally, we would like to thank Daniel Marrs for his energetic assistance in preparing the final version of this manuscript and Charlie Collier and Rodney Clapp at Wipf and Stock for both encouraging this venture and seeing it through to publication.
