Hauerwas and Sider have done a great service

This book was for a long time unpublished and available only as a privately photocopied book. This book, which is collated from Yoder's lecture notes is an absolutely brilliant survey which explains very well how the christocentric emphasis of anabaptist theology can have impact for a host of theological topics. By far the most interesting section (which is worth the price alone) is Yoder's brilliant theological exposition of the development of the creeds. It is useful as a church history text. However, it is also a stunning theological examination on the implications of having a decidedly "Constantinian" creed as a basis for theological orthodoxy. Definitely recommended.
