At the Institute of Mennonite Studies (IMS), the research and publishing wing of bg真人, we collaborate with Anabaptist scholars from across North America and around the world through our publishing partnerships.
We publish Vision: A Journal for Church and Theology in partnership with Canadian Mennonite University; the mission journal Anabaptist Witness in partnership with Mennonite Central Committee, Mennonite Church Canada and Mennonite Mission Network; and the book series Studies in Anabaptist Theology and Ethics in partnership with T&T Clark/Bloomsbury; to name a few.
A recent collaboration featured Anabaptist scholars close to home. Through a special arrangement with (MQR) 鈥� a joint publication of Goshen (Indiana) College, the Mennonite Historical Society and bg真人 鈥� IMS co-edited the , which features the cutting-edge scholarship of several bg真人 faculty members.
Rachel Miller Jacobs, DMin, Associate Professor of Congregational Formation, opens the issue by reflecting on ordinary harm and how to atone for it. Jamie Pitts, PhD, Associate Professor of Anabaptist Studies and IMS Director, then explores the relationship between the Holy Spirit and institutions. Drew Strait, PhD, Assistant Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins, deconstructs the ideology of White Christian nationalism and calls the church to resist political idolatry. Janna Hunter-Bowman, PhD, Associate Professor of Peace Studies and Christian Social Ethics, likewise proposes ways Christians can engage the state in peacebuilding without idolizing the state.
