Introduction -- Revising Yoder's theology of creation -- Revising Yoder's theological anthropology -- Revising Yoder's theology of violence -- Revising Yoder's theological method -- Revising Yoder's ecclesial politics -- Revising Yoder's theology of Christian particularity -- Conclusion.
The present book is an attempt to grapple with Yoder's critics in order to decide how to move forward with a revised ""Yoderian"" theology. Pitts suggests how that revision should be accomplished by first providing an overview of the current state of Yoder scholarship and this book's place within it; then proposing an argument that Yoder's theology can profitably read as a ""sociological theology"" that exhibits reductive tendencies, but which can be revised to be non-reductive; and finally offering an outline and justification of the proposed method of revision, which involves putting Yoder's.
