Menno Simmons : A Reappraisal - Essays in honor of Irvin B. Horst on the 450thh anniversary of the Fundamentboek

---

Overview: This book is a compilation (except for two chapters) of papers presented at a conference on Menno Simons which was held at Eastern Mennonite College & Seminary on March 23 - 24, 1990. This book also published as a Festschrift in honor of Irvin B. Horst in recognition of the significant contribution which he has made to Anabaptist scholarship, and especially to the research on Menno Simmons. While the main focus of the conference was the Fundamentboek, the authors have provided a reappraisal of the life and writings of Menno Simons. After a biographical chapter on Horst by Myron S. Augsburger, Walter Klaassen discusses the relevant of Menno Simons to the part as well as to the present. Sjouke Voolstra then focuses on three central themes of the Fundamentboek, relating them to three stages of Menno's development. Helmut Isaak traces Menno's writings on later generations of Dutch Mennonites by a discussion of the methodology of textual analysis and printing history. M.J. Blok provides an analysis of discipleship as found in the Fundamentboek, placing Menno and his theology in the context of the Netherlands and medieval penitential theology. Drawing on his studies of Menno as well as the Munster rebellion, Abraham Friesen examines Menno's own understanding of his relationship to that militant expression of Anabaptism. Irvin B. Horst reflects on the impact of Menno's writings on North American Mennonites before and after 1885, and evaluates the effect of Evangelicalism on the Mennonite Church. In the final chapter, Walter Klaassen surves the research on Menno for the periods 1837-1937, and 1986 to the present.
