| This work by Mennonite theologian-ethicist Burkholder was
motivated by his own experience as a relief worker and United Nations
administrator in China during the post-World War II years. Being
confronted with the need to exercise public power, he was led to
reassess and critique the traditional Mennonite approach to social
ethics. From the introduction to this book, Burkholder says: "What
impressed me most was the ambiguity of power. ... Eventually I came to
see life dialectically according to which multiple demands required one
to choose between equally valid but contradictory obligations." It is
this dilemma, set over against the context of mid-century Mennonite
ideas and ethos, with which he grapples. Copyright 1989. | |
