| The Missing Peace: Nonviolent Alternatives in United States History | View shopping basket | |
| by James C. Juhnke and Carol M. Hunter | ||
|
paperback, 321 pages, $36.50 | Add... | |
Cover... Related Items Peace | An ideal companion text for United States history survey courses, The Missing Peace
contests the myth of redemptive violence that has formed the subtext of United States history courses for
decades. The authors view U.S. history from the perspective of mutuality and interdependence. They set
out to lay the foundation for a less violent future by remembering the events and the people who worked for
nonviolent alternatives, whose stories have been passed over in much conventional historical writing. The
Missing Peace is a highly readable book, with chapters focusing on each of the principal periods on United
States history, from first contact with the native peoples to the Cold War era and the present day. The book
is readily accessible to students and anyone interested in understanding our past and envisioning a more
peaceful future. Revised edition | |

Meanwhile, the Amish have formed a creative set of adaptive strategies that permit economic integration and social isolation. An in-depth look at how
Mennonites nad Amish were able to become a more visible and respected people
than ever before during their more than 300 years in America. Volume 4. | Add... |

Related Items History Colleges | Juhnke, Professor of History at Bethel College, examines the foundation of Bethel College a century ago through an analysis of the ideas of Cornelius H. Wedel, prominent Mennonite historian and the first president of the college. German culture and American democracy in addition to the Anabaptist/Mennonite tradition shaped the vision for Bethel College. Wedel himself developed a unique concept of congregational christendom (Gemeindechristentum), which expressed God's truth better than the traditional state churches. Wedel died suddenly in 1910, and his synthesis, expressed primarily in works never translated into English, never became well-known even among Mennonite scholars. Yet Wedel and his heritage continued to shape Bethel College and form the roots of Mennonite culture and doctrine. Juhnke's work is not a history of the college, but he investigates themes related to Mennonite higher education, historiography, and culture which should be of interest to all students of Mennonitism. | |
