Mennonite Life journal available online



The 2015 edition of Mennonite Life is now available for reading online. Two major sections of articles deal with the life and legacy of civil rights activist and former Mennonite pastor Vincent Harding and with ongoing issues surrounding theologian John Howard Yoder. The issue features an article by scholar Brad S. Born, “The Discipline of Life on Suicide Watch: Reading Miriam Toews’ All My Puny Sorrows and Other Mennonite Women’s Writing about Familial Mental Illness.” It includes book reviews of recent books by Canadian authors Rudy Wiebe (Come Back), Miriam Toews (All My Puny Sorrows), and Carrie Snyder (Girl Runner). There is also a call for papers for the 2017 conference at Eastern Mennonite University, “Crossing the Line: Women of Anabaptist Traditions Encounter Borders and Boundaries.” This annual journal is produced at Bethel College, and the current issue can be viewed at ml.bethelks.edu. –Bethel College (North Newton, Kan.)
