Radical Reformation and Mennonite Research 1973-1974

By Cornelius Krahn
Assisted by Nelson P. Springer, Leonard Gross and others

It is the policy of Mennonite Life to list all Ph.D. dissertations and M.A. theses completed or in progress dealing broadly with an Anabaptist Mennonite topic or subject matter that have come to the attention of the editors and compilers. This is also the case in regard to research projects which are to result in the publishing of books or articles. All books dealing with Anabaptist-Mennonite and related subjects are included in the bibliography, as are substantial articles published in scholarly magazines. Articles appearing in Mennonite periodicals such as The Mennonite Quarterly Review, Goshen College, Goshen, Indiana, Mennonite Life, North Newton, Kansas, etc. are not listed in this bibliography. However, we call attention to the Mennonite, periodicals referred to in "Life, Struggle and Birth of Mennonite Periodicals" in this issue.

The present practice of book reviews and the listing of publications and research projects including the Ph.D. dissertations and the M.A. theses developed gradually. They appeared as a rule in the April issue. The years 1971-72 were covered in the March issue of 1973. The present report again covers two years: 1973-74. These issues as well as proceeding ones are a store of information. This is also the case in regard to the issues which contain the author and subject index to Mennonite Life. They are found in the January issues of 1956, 1961, 1966, and 1971. All issues are available from the publishers.

OTHER RESEARCH, PUBLICATIONS, LECTURES

The Second Edition of Mennonite Encyclopedia Published

Melvin Gingerich and Cornelius Krahn were responsible for the corrections of typographical and factual errors and for the reprint edition of the four volumes which was completed during the years 1969-1973. The original plan calls for a revised up-to-date edition by 1980. Melvin Gingerich is in the final stage of the writing of the biography of Edward C. Eicher, Mennonite Congressman and Federal Judge from Washington, Iowa. Melvin is also preparing a popular booklet on Old Germantown as well as "A History of the Germantown Mennonite Church." Cornelius Krahn and Melvin Gingerich have been assigned the task to prepare the third edition of Mennonites: A Guide to Information which is out of print.

Donald F. Durnbaugh presented the annual Bethel College Menno Simons Lectures, "The Promise and the Peril of Civil Religion," October 27-29, 1974. Following are three of the topics presented by him: "Civil Religion in Anabaptist Perspective," "Civil Religion, the Peace Churches, and the American Revolution," and "Civil Religion in Nineteenth Century America." The Bethel College Department of History and Western District Conference Historical Committee are planning a conference on Mennonites in World War I to be held on the Bethel Campus on October 10-11, 1975. J. Winfield Fretz is preparing a paper entitled "Emerging Communes and Mennonite Communities" to be presented at the "Conference on Communes," Northern Illinois University, April 18, 1975. He is also doing research for a book dealing with a sociological interpretation of 12 Mennonite groups in Waterloo County, Ontario,.

At Home and Abroad

Thomas Müntzer and Hans Hut received a detailed study in a voluminous Habilitationsschrift: "Müntzers Erbe: Werk, Leben, and Theologie des Hans Hut" in which Gottfried Seebass deals with the essence of Swiss and South German Anabaptism. In contrast to the Swiss Anabaptists, he sees the Anabaptism of Central Germany and Austria, founded by Hut, as a "child of the late Middle ages," while Swiss Anabaptism is seen as a "genuine product" of the Swiss Reformation. Heinold Fast is researching and collecting 16th century water-colors and drawings which are to be reproduced with a text. Hans-Jürgen Goertz is engaged in numerous projects pertaining to the Anabaptist-Mennonites including the attitude of the German Mennonites toward Hitler before and during World War II. An article on the latter subject was published in Mennonitisches Jahrbuch, 1975.

William R. Estep is involved with the production of a film dealing with the origin of the Anabaptist movement in Switzerland for the Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission in Fort Worth, Texas. He has also prepared a revised edition of his Anabaptist Story, published by Eerdmans and completed the English translation of B. Hubmaier's writings.

Mennonites in Canada show an increasing interest in their own history. The major concentration and accomplishments were thus far found in Manitoba and Ontario. Recently the Mennonite Historical Society of Canada was organized with J. Winfield Fretz as chairman, George Groening as vice-chairman, and Ted Friesen as secretary. Leo Driedger is engaged in research dealing with the cultural identity of the Mennonites in Manitoba and more specifically Winnipeg. He is including other ethnic groups in his various research projects.

Kenneth Reed (author of Mennonite Soldier) and Elmer Suderman (What Can We Do Here) are interested in selecting and publishing an Anthology of Mennonite Literature for use in classes and as a source of inspiration and information. Gerald Brunk and James O. Lehman are engaged in research in regard to the Revolutionary War records pertaining to the Mennonites during that time in Eastern Pennsylvania and Maryland. Their findings will be published in two volumes. Ronald J. Sider has been commissioned by Fortress Press to prepare a book with the tentative title Between Liberal and Radical: The Lutheran Karlstadt Debate.

LIFE, STRUGGLE AND BIRTH OF MENNONITE PERIODICALS

In the April, 1971 issue (p. 88) we reported about the disappearance of some Mennonite publications and the rejuvination of others. This process continues. The Mennonite Library and Archives offers a unique opportunity to observe not only what is "new" but also what "folds up" or what changes take place among those that continue. As far as appearance and content are concerned some remain very much the same from year to year and from decade to decade not to speak of generation to generation. Others change almost with the seasons. Some are praised for what they do and others are criticized for what they do or fail to do.

Two for One in Canada, and Germany

In the observations referred to at the outset, it was stated that the Canadian Mennonite was discontinued in 1971. In its place two papers appeared soon afterwards. The Mennonite Reporter edited by David Kroeker and published by Mennonite Publishing Service, Waterloo, Ontario, appears every second Monday, since 1971. Its journalistic qualities and coverage reaching far beyond the Canadian Mennonite constituency is unusual.

A second new Canadian paper is the Mennonite Mirror published ten times each year by the Brock Publishing Co., Winnipeg. It is edited by Roy Vogt and aims to serve the Mennonite community of Manitoba. The editor does not hesitate to publish articies in Low and High German although English predominates. No other Mennonite paper carries as many advertisements as does the Mirror. But that too may have advantages beyond safeguarding the future of its existence.

In Germany the American sponsored Der Mennonit 1948-73) was discontinued and in its place Die Vereinigung der Deutschen Mennonitengemeinden revived the Mennonitische Blätter which had been discontinued during World War II. Under the editorship of Peter J. Foth it is oriented to serve old and young leaning somewhat toward the latter. The former Geineindeblatt (retained in the subtitle) has been revived as Gemeinde Unterwegs and is edited by Samuel Gerber.

The greatest change and most challenging and scholarly contributions among the European Mennonites can be found in the Mennonitisches Jahrbuch since 1971 edited by Johannes Harder. At the ripe age of 75 years it is filled with more youthful vigor than many younger publications. In addition to this the Mennonitische Geschichtsblätter continue as a channel of information as far as European Anabaptist-Mennonite research and publications are concerned. The Dutch Mennonites who pioneered along these lines (Doopsgezinde Bijdragen, Later Stemmen) have not yet revived their efforts along this line.

However, the Bibliography shows that AnabaptistMennonite and related research flourishes in Europe and results in many publications just like this has been the case in North America for some time.

Mennonite Life

Mennonite Life which was started at Bethel College in 1946 as a quarterly magazine has returned to Bethel College after a period (1971-1974) during which the Herald Publishing Company of Newton, Kansas was the publisher. Robert Schrag was the Editor and Cornelius Krahn the Consultant Editor. Starting with the March, 1975 issue, Bethel College resumed the publication with James Juhnke and Robert Kreider as editors.

Mennonite Brethren Research and Publications

The Mennonite Brethren publication, Direction (since 1972) was preceded by The Voice (since 1952), and The Journal of Church and Society (since 1965) . It is published jointly by the Mennonite Brethren Colleges, and the Seminary. The editorial office is located in Fresno, California, and the publication and business office in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is in place to call attention briefly to some of the issues which focus on Anabaptist-Mennonite topics or on the Mennonite Brethren.

Among these articles are "Patterns of Leadership in the Mennonite Brethren Conference" (Oct. 1972) and "The Impact of the Family in Mennonite History" (July, 1972). The January, 1973 issue has articles that deal with cultural relativism and the Mennonite identity. The October, 1973 issue has an article dealing with the movement "From the Village to the City," written by Delbert Wiens and the July, 1974 issue is totally devoted to Mennonite Brethren historiography with a lead article by J. B. Toews entitled "From Where to Where." All issues have a review section devoted to general theological books and some to the Anabaptist tradition.

In spite of the fact that a journalist entitles an article "Direction is Ponderously Dull," (April, 1974 ) we must say that there has never been in the over 100 years of the Mennonite Brethren history a greater interest in the Anabaptist-Mennonite identity than there is today. This has been expressed particularly in research projects, including the writing of Ph.D. dissertations and the publications of books. Among these books the one by J. A. Toews, just off the press, is outstanding. It is entitled History of the Mennonite Brethren Church, published by the General Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches, Fresno, California, 1975, 513 pp.

Mennonite Brethren Research

A. J. Klassen has submitted a report about research projects of the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary, Fresno, California. The Seminary will commemorate its 40th anniversary in the summer of 1975. Various publications are expected to appear at that occasion. Some will be published in book form, others will appear in Direction edited by Delbert Wiens. The Board of Christian Literature is preparing biographies of the pioneer educators, H. S. Voth and A. H. Unruh. Comprehensive histories of the Mennonite Brethren mission work in Latin America and Asia are to appear in the near future (for publications published, see Bibliography of this issue of Mennonite Life). The professors of the Fresno Seminary and the Mennonite Brethren Colleges regularly contribute to the Christian Leader. Herbert Giesbrecht, librarian of M.B.B.C., Winnipeg, has compiled a Sach-und Namen-Register zu Abraham H. Unruh's Die Geschichte der Mennoniten Brüdergemeinde: 1860-1954 which was printed by the compiler on 34 pages.

THE CENTENNIAL IN RETROSPECT

Centennial Publications

The coming of the Mennonites from Russia to North America observed in various forms and through many activities in Mennonite communities between Kansas and Manitoba, was climaxed in the production of numerous books of a local or general nature. They are listed in the bibliography of this issue of Mennonite Life. Attention should also be called here to the periodicals that devoted numerous articles or whole, issues to the Centennial event. Most of the issues are still available and can be ordered from the publishers.

All issues of Mennonite Life of 1973 and 1974 were devoted to the numerous aspects of the coming and of the settling of the Mennonites in the prairie states and provinces. The issues of Mennonite Life featuring the Centennial can be ordered from Mennonite Life, North Newton, Kansas.

The Mennonite Weekly Review (Newton, Kansas) devoted numerous issues to the Centennial and reprinted in installments "The Coming of the Russian Mennonites" written by C. Henry Smith at the time of the 50th anniversary. The Mennonite (Newton, Kansas), The Christian Leader (Hillsboro, Kansas), and The Gospel Herald (Scottdale, Pennsylvania), also featured the Centennial in a number of articles. This was also done in Canada by the Mennonite Mirror (Winnipeg) and the Mennonite Reporter (Waterloo, Ontario). There was hardly a Mennonite paper, even in other countries, that did not take note of the event. Numerous scholars lectured in many communities and churches dealing with many aspects of the coming of the Mennonites.

Cornelius Krahn compiled "A Centennial Chronology" of the coming of the Mennonites to the prairie states and provinces in and around 1874, which was published in the March and June issues of Mennonite Life in 1973. He also published a Centennial Calendar of Events which appeared in the Mennonite Weekly Review, June 20, 1974, pp. 10-11.

The Centennial on the Stage

The Tri-College Centennial Committee (Bethel, Hesston, and Tabor) sponsored, among other activities, the writing and the production of the drama, "Tomorrow Has Roots" written by Urie Bender, with music by Harold Moyer. The presentation of the drama, featuring the coming of the Mennonites to North America, began in October in Century II in Wichita, where the Mennonite District Conference jointly had their sessions and included many other centennial events. The drama was later presented in the larger Mennonite communities of Nebraska, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Manitoba, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Ontario. No other Mennonite production has ever had a larger audience.

Mention should also be made of the Manitoba Mennonite folk opera, The Bridge, written by Esther Wiebe (music) and Diana Brandt (libretto), and directed by George Wiebe and Elizabeth Schlichting. It was a great success and was presented in a number of provinces in Canada.

The semi-professional presentations on a larger scale were much appreciated but it should be pointed out that in the memory of those involved in community efforts their own productions will likely be remembered longest. The locally produced skits and plays, parades and monuments, thousands of Zwiebach and gallons of Borscht, lectures and sermons, visits and sharing, family histories and other publications of local nature may have the most lasting values as far as the self-identity is concerned.

Inter-Mennonite Cookbook

The Melting Pot of Mennonite Cookery, 1874-1974, produced and published by the Bethel College Women's Association in 1974 was among the greatest successes of the centennial year. Five thousand copies were sold within a few weeks after its appearance. The book is unique in that it takes into account a dozen ethnic Mennonite traditions in cookery. The second printing has just come off the press.

From Centennial to 450th Anniversary

In 1974, Mennonites of the prairie states and provinces observed the centennial of the coming of their ancestors to North America. This was done on a larger scale and with a greater participation than any other event in Mennonite history. There had been commemorations of the 400th anniversary of Anabaptist beginnings in Switzerland in 1925, the conversion and the death of Menno Simons in 1936, and 1961, and a number of Mennonite World Conference sessions which bring together the sons and daughters of Menno from many continents. Nevertheless, the length of the observation of the centennial and the number in attendance climaxed with a presentation of Urie Bender's drama "Tomorrow has Roots" overshadowed all previous festivities.

The commemoration of the 450th anniversary of the origin of Anabaptism should be of great significance for all descendants of Anabaptism, both spiritually or ethnically speaking. This can still be the case even if no efforts seem to have been made thus far to provide for mass meetings anywhere either in Europe or in America. The scheduled meeting in Zurich in June, 1975, is on a smaller, scale.

450th Anniversary Observations

A number of observations of the 450th anniversary of Anabaptist-Mennonite origin has been and will be observed at various places.

1. Strasbourg. February 20-22, 1975. "Beginning and Characteristics of Anabaptism."

2. Bienenberg Mennonite School, Basel. July 8-13,1975.

3. Baptist 'Theological .Seminary, Rüschlikon, (Zurich). July 14-18, 1975.

Jan Luyken by Jan Gleysteen

"The Drama of the Martyrs-From the death of Jesus Christ up to recent times: Drawn and engraved on copper by the renowned engraver Jan Luyken (1649-1712) with an introductory essay by Jan Gleysteen" has just come off the press. This new book is published by a new publisher namely the Mennonite Historical Associates, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Back of it all is the magnificent artistic and photographic skill of Jan Gleysteen who makes sixteenth century martyrdom and the Martyrs Mirror a work of art to behold. This reproduction of the Martyr's Mirror does not include any text beyond introductions and one-line captions under each reproduction. This may result in a more individualized inspiration and challenge without additional prompting. It is a dream of long standing that has now become a reality and will be cherished and used by many of the present and future generations.

The introductory chapter "Portrait of the Artist" is excellent, however, the last sentence can easily lead to a misunderstanding, when the author states, "Here for the first time since 1780 these fine prints are available once again for study and reflection." Gerald C. Studer states in his preface to the book that Mennonite Life (April 19, 1967 featured Jan Luyken's prints from the Martyr's Mirror of 1685. The difference between the engravings used in Mennonite Life and those by Jan Gleysteen is not substantial. In addition to this it should be said that Jan Luyken's works of art pertaining to the Anabaptist martyrs were published in book form by Bethel College in 1974 based on the Mennonite Life edition which is now widely used in congregations and schools within all Mennonite groups (a total of over 6000 have been sold). The Witness of the Martyrs Mirror for Our Day is available at all Mennonite bookstores ($1.75).
