Christian Century: Radical catholicity - reflections on the life and work of theologian John Howard Yoder (1246 words)
The focus of his dissertation, completed in 1957, was an analysis of the dialogues between the Swiss Anabaptists and the magisterial Reformers in the early 16th century, an exposition that laid bare the theological and hermeneutical assumptions of both sides of the debate.
Not coincidentally, Yoder was a participant at the Puidoux Theological Conference held at the Evangelical Academy near Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1955.
This gathering was the first significant encounter between mainstream Protestant theologians and theologians of the Radical Reformation traditions since the disputations of the early 16th century.
