Evangelical theology poses "a profound challenge" to Anabaptist peace convictions, says Dr. Gerald Mast. But accepting that challenge "is essential to renew biblical peace conviction in both the Mennonite church and the Christian church as a whole," argues the Bluffton University professor and church scholar.
"When rightly understood," he adds, evangelical theology "offers a way for peace to be practiced, not just as an art of the possible but also as an expression of the impossible."
