Review:
"One of the greatest Christian theologians of all time made accessible to folks who don’t use words like eschatology and hermeneutics. This series is a gift to the world, and hopefully it will help us build a better one." —Shane Claiborne, author of The Irresistible Revolution
"Many years after his death, John Howard Yoder’s vision of Christian community remains timely, poignant and insightful. Real Christian Fellowship, which makes Yoder’s writings on community available to a broader audience, is an essential book as we seek to cultivate deeper and more faithful churches amidst the individualism and consumerism of our times."—C. Christopher Smith, coauthor of Slow Church and founding editor of The Englewood Review of Books
"This book is full of wonderful surprises—teachings by John Yoder that are quite new to us, who thought we knew his work well. Many thanks to the editors who faithfully and effectively gathered these materials together!"—Marva J. Dawn, theologian, author, speaker
