The Naked Anabaptist by Stuart Murray is a straightforward introduction to the Anabaptist tradition. Why are so many people today in Britain and Ireland intrigued by Anabaptism? What are the core convictions of the Anabaptist tradition? Who were the original Anabaptists?
We are delighted finally to be able to announce that (after a very long delay at the publisher's) the fifth book in the popular 'After Christendom' series - Worship and Mission after Christendom by Alan & Eleanor Kreider - has been published.
The book can be ordered from the Anabaptist Network for £12.99 (including postage) and will be available at that price from bookshops. A sample chapter can be found at http://www.anabaptistnetwork.com/node/523.
Early commendations include:
Three day conferences with Stuart Murray Williams (The Anabaptist Network) and Roy Searle (The Northumbria Community).
Dates: 17 September in London; 28 September in Cardiff; and 23 October in Manchester.
Details from anaceltic@aol.com (London); admin@swbc.org.uk (Cardiff); and g.chatterton@northern.org.uk (Manchester).

This book is one of a number of essay collections published since the death of John Howard Yoder that reflect on his writings and their continuing significance for Christian theology and ethics. Indeed, several of the essays in this set have already been published in previous Yoder collections (indicated thus*), and so, if you are keeping up with work on Yoder, you may find that you have already read them before.
Most of these essays juxtapose Yoder’s thought with influential thinkers:
Jehu Hanciles: 'Beyond Christendom: globalization, African migration and the transformation of the West' (Maryknoll: Orbis, 2008)
Soong-Chan Rah: 'The Next Evangelicalism: Freeing the Church from Western Cultural Captivity' (Downers Grove: IVP, 2009)
