[From front jacket flap] 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. The conference was held to commemorate the 450th anniversary of the publication in 1539/40 of Menno's most influential treatise, the Foundation of Christian Doctrine (Fundamentboeh). The book is 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 Simons. While the main focus of the conference was the Fundamentboeh, 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 relevance of Menno Simons to the past as well as to the present. Sjouke Voolstra then focuses on three central themes of the Fundamentboeh, 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. MJ. Blok provides an analysis of discipleship as found in the Fundamentboeh, placing Menno and his theology in the context of the Netherlands and medieval penitential theology. Drawing on his studies of Menno as well as of 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 surveys the research on Menno for the periods 1837-1937, and 1986 to the present. Signed by Author.
