Review

The Naked Anabaptist needed to be written, and I can't imagine anyone better than Stuart Murray to write it. I fully share Stuart's enthusiasm for what the Christian community at large can learn from the Anabaptist way of being Christian, and I hope you'll share my enthusiasm for this book. Please read it and encourage others to do the same!
--Brian D. McLaren, author/speaker/activist

The Anabaptists are beginning to make more and more sense to a world that is increasingly aware of the emptiness of materialism and the ugliness of militarism. Anabaptist logic is rooted in the wisdom of the cross of Jesus, which Scripture says confounds the wisdom of this world. It seems the world is poised for a new Anabaptist movement, and The Naked Anabaptist may well be the spark that lights the fire.
--Shane Claiborne, author of The Irresistible Revolution

I am finding a growing hunger for a more authentic whole-life faith that makes a difference in the lives of others. Many are discovering their answer in the Anabaptist witness, as I did 30 years ago. The Naked Anabaptist is a treasure for those who want to become more faithful followers of Jesus in our troubled world. Stuart Murray compellingly explains how the Anabaptist witness calls us to take Jesus seriously in every area of our lives and in response to the urgent issues of peace and justice that fill our world.

From the Back Cover

There's a movement afoot . . .

In churches and kitchens and neighborhood centers across the world, communities of Jesus-followers are crafting a commitment to peace and a vision of radical service. Disillusioned with churches wedded to wealth and conquest, many are finding a home in a Christian tradition almost five centuries old: Anabaptism.

But who are the Anabaptists? What do they believe? What makes them different from other Christians? And can you become an Anabaptist without leaving your own church? Follow Stuart Murray as he peels back the layers to reveal the core convictions of Anabaptist Christianity. Glimpse an alternative to the nationalism and materialism embedded in contemporary Christianity. With new stories from young Anabaptists and expanded reflections on the loss of Christian influence in wider culture, the fifth anniversary edition of The Naked Anabaptist will strengthen readers allegiance to the way of Jesus that disturbs and inspires.

If you seek a community of authentic discipleship and heartfelt worship, of simple living and radical peacemaking, consider this your invitation."

Non-Constantinian Followers of the Way
By Charles W. Kiker
In fulfillment of the promise of the subtitle, the author outlines seven core convictions of Anabaptism as it exists today:
1. Jesus is example, teacher, friend, redeemer and Lord.
2. Jesus is the focal point of God's revelation.
3. Western culture is slowly emerging from Christendom.
4. The frequent association of the church with status, wealth, and
force is inappropriate for and damages the witness of followers of Jesus.
5. Churches are called to be committed communities of discipleship and
mission.
6. Spirituality and economics are interconnected. Anabaptists are committed
to finding ways of living simply, sharing generously, caring for
creation, and working for justice.
7. Peace is at the heart of the gospel. Anabaptists are committed to finding
nonviolent alternatives and to learning to make peace between
individuals, within and among churches, in society, and between nations.

Subsequent chapters elaborate on these convictions.

Murray names the big three among traditional Anabaptists: Mennonites, Amish, and Hutterites. (He fails to elaborate on the diversity among Mennonites.) Non-traditional Anabaptists include neo-Anabaptists--Christians who identify with Anabaptist tradition but have no historic links to any Anabaptist-related denomination--and hyphenated Anabaptists--Christians who find inspiration in the Anabaptist tradition but do not identify themselves as Anabaptist. Examples could include Baptist-Anabaptists, Methodist-Anabaptist and various other Denomination-Anabaptist varieties. The distinction between hyphenated and neo-Anabaptists is somewhat strained. For example, if I am an active, participating Methodist with Anabaptist convictions, am I neo or hyphenated?

A recurring theme of this book is the end of Constantinian Christianity. Murray not only acknowledges, but celebrates the demise of Christendom.

This is a helpful book for understanding Anabaptism. It provides a historical overview of the movement that can serve as a refresher course for many of us who have become a bit rusty in our church history, and as an introduction to those who have no previous knowledge of the radical reformation. The author paints the origins of Anabaptism warts and all. Radical reformers and their spiritual heirs are usually thought of as pacifists, but some among early Anabaptists resorted to violence, i.e, the instigators of the Peasants Revolt. While the historical section of this book is no more than a sketch, hopefully it will pique the interest of some to dig deeper into the witness of this important part of the Christian family.

Doesn't do what it says
By D. Layman
"Naked Anabaptist purports to describe an "Anabaptism" "stripped down to its bare essentials" for people who may have heard about it and want to know more about it, perhaps a Christian seeker who is disenchanted with their own religious background and is drawn to something they have heard about Anabaptism. The "naked" in the title apparently means (according to a blurb on back) an Anabaptism stripped of Mennonite, Amish, and Hutterite traditions.

But Murray immediately reveals that this is not really what he is trying to do: "these convictions are an attempt by Anabaptists in Britain and Ireland today to learn from the Anabaptist tradition.... (p. 44)" In that case, two things follow. Firstly, this is not "naked Anabaptism". It is Anabaptism read by particular people in a particular social and cultural location. After stripping away Mennonite, etc., traditions, but they have simply put another tradition it its place: the tradition of a certain variety of evangelical radicalism, consciously trying to move beyond what it interprets as a failed and dying Christendom.

The second problem is that Murray then presents these "core convictions" as if they are the content of coherent theological perspective, like say Five Points Calvinism or Thomism. Although he was initially honest about "where he was coming from," for the rest of the book he completely ignores the origins of his agenda. He pretends he is giving us an interpretation of Anabaptism.

But his real agenda is stated in the subtitle: "The Bare Essentials of a Radical Faith." So the the book is the inverse of what Murray claims to provide. He does not strip Anabaptism down to its core and find "a radical faith." Rather he takes his radical faith, and DRESSES IT UP as Anabaptism.

This is most clearly seen in his interpretation of Peace & Justice: he criticizes the "nonresistance" of traditional Mennonite practice (p. 130), instead preferring contemporary "peace" initiatives, like the Christian Peacemaker Teams. He later criticizes Mennonite separatism (p. 164), although he knows it is "endorsed by foundational documents like the 'Schleitheim Confession'." But that confession does far more than endorse separatism. *It makes separatism the basis of the rejection of violence.*:

Let's quote from the Confession: "everything which is not united with our God and Christ cannot be other than an abomination which we should shun and flee from. By this is meant all Catholic and Protestant works and church services, meetings and church attendance, drinking houses, civic affairs, the oaths sworn in unbelief and other things of that kind, which are highly regarded by the world and yet are carried on in flat contradiction to the command of God, in accordance with all the unrighteousness which is in the world. From all these things we shall be separated and have no part with them for they are nothing but an abomination, and they are the cause of our being hated before our Christ Jesus, Who has set us free from the slavery of the flesh and fitted us for the service of God through the Spirit Whom He has given us.
Therefore there will also unquestionably fall from us the unchristian, devilish weapons of force - such as sword, armor and the like, and all their use (either) for friends or against one's enemies"

Notice: rejection of violence FLOWS FROM separation from the world. In other words, for historic Anabaptists and Anabaptism, if one wants to be nonviolent, one must be separated from the world. But Murray doesn't want that sort of nonviolence: he wants worldly peace and justice, not the peace that is created in a separated community guided by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As noted by another reviewer, another example is Murray's rejection of patriarchy. But patriarchy is essential to traditional Mennonite practice. So why does Murray prefer egalitarianism? Because it fits his contemporary "radical" sensibilities better. He provides no argument that egalitarianism is either more biblical or more "Anabaptist".

I kept looking for a theological *argument*: what is Anabaptism? How does it compare to other confessional traditions? How does Murray know that *this* version of Anabaptism is its core (as distinct from other possible interpretations)? Why is it theologically or ethically more desirable than other confessional traditions? Murray, unfortunately, only gave his personal opinions, which for me, made this a tedious book to read. However, if you agree with the radical agenda, then you will probably like the book.

But if you are looking for an explanation of historical Anabaptism, or a careful discussion of how and to what degree the values of Anabaptism can be appropriated by modern Christians, I would encourage you to go elsewhere. For the history and theology of the original Anabaptists, try The Anabaptist Story: An Introduction to Sixteenth-Century Anabaptism. Then perhaps go to the classic of H. S. Bender, Anabaptist Vision in which Bender attempts to interpret Anabaptism within the framework of the evangelicalism of the '20s and '30s. I also suggest that you search for "conservative Anabaptism" and check out some of the links. (last two paragraphs modestly edited)

The Naked Anabaptist
By Mark
The book The Naked Anabaptist, was recommended by a friend and Christian minister when I lamented feeling pretty much alone in my beliefs about the sin of war and the materialism that so dominates the American psyche in these modern times. Stuart Murray shockingly uses the term "post Christendom" and then proceeds to show that the new Christian is finding new truths in Jesus' "sermon on the mount". That, simply believing, is WAY different than actually following the example of unconditional love and peace/justice as demonstrated when He walked and spoke while on Earth. Sometimes the book's a little deep in theology but there's no law that prevents me from skipping pages to find the more understandable parts and then going back. I think the author is right on target with this book and it turns out I'm far from being alone. Thank you Amazon for making it available.

Lets go steal a Book Review
By JohnPatrickMCP
I have been a fan of the Leverage TV show since the first episode and it is the single oldest series recording on my DVR. Add in the fact that this book revolves around the crew running a job at Comic-Con International and I couldn't believe my luck when I got the opportunity to receive an early copy of the book to review. Unfortunately with the announcement that the series will not be renewed for a sixth season our only hope is that the franchise may live on with a series of novels. So without further pleading for more Leverage, lets go steal a book review.

The Con Job takes place between The Gold Job, episode 316, and The Radio Job, episode 317. Simon Curtiss is a lifetime freelance comic book artist who has just come from his wife's funeral. In order to cover her medical expenses he contract a man named Lorenzo Patronus to sell a collection of his original artwork that he had been saving as a nest egg. Since he was only a freelance artist he had no insurance or retirement plan it was the only savings he had. Unfortunately Patronus has no intention to deliver on the money and the stress sends Curtiss to the hospital and his daughter to McRory's pub. She informs Nate of her fathers troubles and Patronus' dirty dealings. But because her father willingly gave him the artwork to sell the police can not prosecute him for theft. The only recourse they had would be to sue him for breach of contract and that would take time and money that her father didn't have. But she explains that Patronus took more than her fathers artwork. He preyed on his desperate need to provide for his wife at the end of her life. He took his dignity. Nate agrees to help her, help her father.

Nate assembles the team and Hardison gives them the run down on Patronus. Simon Curtiss isn't the only artist Patronus has pulled his scam on. If fact he has been using Simon Curtiss name to lure in other artist to take advantage of. Patronus is setting up a huge auction to liquidate the artwork under the guise of donating a token portion of the proceeds to the Hero Initiative, a charity that ironically was set up to help financially support aging freelance comic book artist. The auction is being held at the largest gathering of comic book enthusiast in the world, Comic Con International. While Hardison is truly geeked about the opportunity to mix work and pleasure the rest of the group is not so enthusiastic. Trying to run a con in a building holding over a hundred and fifty thousand convention goers adds plenty of opportunities for things to go wrong, but if they don't intervene than the artwork will be legally sold to new owners and Patronus will be free to disappear with the money.

At first things go well and it looks like this might be an easy job. The team discovers that in addition to the artwork he has conned Patronus has added several pieces that are his own work. A little digging reveals that he had aspirations of being an artist in the industry but he was never able to make the grade. So they hatch a plan to dangle his life dream of becoming a published artist in front of him and Patronus is all to willing to use the money generated from the auction to fund the fictitious start up venture. But Patronus isn't the only factor in play. Another player is bankrolling him from the shadows for no apparent gain. Further complicating matters is the appearance of Cha0s. While the hacker showing up at the convention could be a coincidence, and Hardison goes missing after being seen with him, the con start unraveling. The team must find Hardison, take down Patronus, and find out what his secret partner's angle is before the convention ends. No Spoilers here, you'll have to read it yourself to find out.

I enjoyed The Con Job, a lot. Tie-in novels are a very tricky genera because while you are usually familiar with the character from watching the TV show if you rely too heavily on that the novel will not appeal to new readers with interest in the property. It also adds the dimension of being able to get a glimpse into what the characters are thinking that you don't get from the TV show. The Con Job in a way is a tie-in of two properties, the Leverage TV show and Comic Con International. While I have watched every episode of Leverage I have never been to Comic Con so enjoyed that the Convention was more that just a setting. As cliche as it is to say it really was almost a character in the story. It affected every move the character made from trying to find a hotel room to what moves they could and couldn't make in a building with a hundred and fifty thousand possible witnesses. In addition to the mark and convention goers the team is rubbing elbows with the royalty of the geek world (although we never see Cha0s and Wil Wheaton at the same time, COINCIDENCE?). We also see each of the team members feel the pull of Comic Con on them. Sophie views the comic book art with the same appreciative eye she uses for stealing priceless works of the masters. Eliot reveals that he had once had aspirations of a possible career in the industry. Nate is taken back to memories of reading comic books with his son and the guilt of a promise to attend Comic Con together that could never be fulfilled. Parker never had a normal childhood so she is experiencing things with innocent excitement. It is also a chance for Hardison to share his love of all things Geeky with her as they take the first awkward steps past friends and into a relationship. The really impressive part of the story is that it was written while the author was in the middle of his campaign to write twelve novels in twelve months. It has the feel of a good episode of the show and was written by someone who was knowledgeable about the show and the characters, not something that was slipped into an already crazy writing schedule.

Let's Steal a Night's Sleep
By Heather McConaha
I received my copy of _Con Game_ and proceeded to sit up all night reading it. I am out a night of sleep, but am so pumped by the story I am not noticing one whit.

I would have loved to have seen this made into an actual episode just the scenes of Parker sliding down the roof of the Convention Center, and Eliot masquerading as Warren Ellis are worth the price of admission.

Let's Show TNT they never should have dropped the show.

Worth the wait...
By MJAFL
I have been checking Amazon for a Leverage novel monthly since the TV series started. Finally, not one, but three appeared at the same time. This was the first one available with the others only available for pre-order. I picked it up and now a little over a day later, find myself waiting for the next one. The book was well written, being true to the TV series and its characters. The author truly seems to be having a lot of fun tying Comic-Con, Hardison, Wil Wheaton, Cha0s, The Big Bang Theory and Comic-con information all together in a novel that has a fast, continually moving, well thought out plot line. Ok, a few times I thought the author was being a bit too cute with all his cross-references, but he did it well so it did not distract from the story-telling. I am sure if I knew more about the Comic-con world, I would have noticed more in-references. If he enjoyed writing it 1/2 as much as I enjoyed reading it, then he is an incredibly lucky man.

If you are looking for a book that solves world-hunger, keep looking. If you are looking to escape for a couple hours and have some fun in the Leverage universe, with characters as you have come to know them, give this a chance. Could some of the 5 stars be satisfaction at finally having a novel in the Leverage universe, yeah, possibly, but I suspect I'd have still rated it high even if it had not been the first after such a long wait. Now, only 2 months & 3 days before I can download "The Zoo Game" to continue this series. Oh well.

A missed opportunity
By Horst Freyhofer
The book (third edition)is a treasure for those who like to scan the views of well-know public figures (Leon Trotzky, George Kennan, Winston Churchill, etc.) and scholars (H. Stuart Hughes, Walter Laqueur, Francis Fukuyama, etc.) on topics of general interest (Bolshevik Revolution, Holocaust, European Unity, etc.) pertaining to the 20th century. The book's title is "An Age of Conflict." The perhaps most traumatic conclict in the know history of humans is World War II. Reading the book can leave one wonder whether it ever occured. The war receives mention in chapters entitled "The Nazis" or "Resistance or Collaboration," but the contributions by the various authors lack overarching coherence because there is no overarching plot to be found of this event in this rendition of the age of conflict. As a result, the book should generate much confusion among students of history who are not familiar with the subject. Others may indeed learn from it.
