Keeping Salvation Ethical: Mennonite and Amish Atonement Theology in the Late Nineteenth Century

J. Denny Weaver

NetLibrary, Incorporated

<p>In this pioneering work, J. Denny Weaver analyzes late 19th century Mennonite and Amish thought on atonement, an issue of concern for all Christians. He maintains that these Anabaptists did have a theology, displayed in the lived faith and in their writings, but it was threatened by the satisfaction theory of atonement. "Thoroughly documented. . . . An excellent historical background for continuing analysis."--C. Norman Kraus, in the Foreword.</p>

<p>Drawing on postmodern as well as black, feminist, and womanist insights, Weaver shows that peace-oriented Anabaptist-Mennonite thought contains seeds of a theology that is biblical but poses an alternative to the theology of Christendom, which accommodates violence.</p>
