But there are just a few things that keep me from enjoying it.<br/><br/>I know this sounds superficial, but first there is the writing style. Yoder writes as a scholar for scholars.

    <body><![CDATA[I think I've been close to considering becoming a pacificist for a while, but Yoder moves me that much closer. And the reasons for this have very little to do with philosophical argumentation, i.e. I would not become a pacificist as an &quot;intellectual&quot; position.

    <body><![CDATA[Great book for all those who, like me, grew up learning that Jesus primarily wanted to cultivate inner goodness in people. Instead, this book examines how Jesus' ethics were social and political by nature, and that it was always his intention that his followers have a correspondingly challenging, in...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11887120">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is classic Yoder.  He argues that unlike the traditional modes of pacifism, Christ instead actively participated in the politics of the society around him.  The pacifism of Christ is not one of inaction but of carrying the cross in society.  Its a powerful message of future expectation breaking...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2755415">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is perhaps not the best book on the political reality of Jesus, or the most cogent argument for a non-violent Christianity, but in this book, Yoder skillfully opens the door to both ideas in a way that is compelling and faithful. For this alone, this book is worth the read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Yoder places such an emphasis on Jesus' actions and not only his words. The book is not an easy read at all, but if you can understand the points that he is making throughout, it will blow you away. This ones a gem.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A very inspiring and ethic challenging read.  Has definitely sparked an interest in New Testament textual criticism for me.  I read the original edition but am looking forward to rereading with the 2nd edit.  ]]></body>
